Me too.  Used washers from the hardware store in the box of "machine
washers".

John, 

 

I had the same issue when I went to the "new improved" Nosewheel bracket on
my FG. I didn't like the idea of the slop, seems like it would exaggerate
any tendency to shimmy. I removed the slack with shims.

My nose wheel has 1/16" gap between the spacers/wheel.  It seems 
noticeable if I push the nose of the plane from side to side.  It's a 
tight fit to get the wheel rim past the area where the axle fits, so I 
don't think anything is deformed.  I'm thinking of adding washers to 
remove the slack.  Anyone else notice this?

John
