REFLECTOR: Belleville washers

[Jeff Howell]

yup I am using the wheel lock, witch to me is a great safety device. Never a shimmy. If anyone wants one I have the contact info for the Mishler Nosewheel Lock System... I have used the nylon in place of the belleville washers and it holds torque and pressure but not for any period of time. I am not sure of wear rates and other engineering issues that using only nylon may in tale. Jeff

Jeff,
 
Can you share with all of us what your build up consisted of and how did you know set the proper torque for the nut? Did you still use a pull gage and if so how much?
 
You can't just tell everyone that this works great without sharing the details?

Jeff,
Could I talk you into making a set for me?  I'd gladly trade for free banjo lessons or $5 or whatever plus shipping.

I ordered some 2 1/2" round stock on line and opened up a hole to the right dia. using a lathe. It works great.

Where did you get the nylon sheet stock that you made the washers from and how many did you use?

I found that a combo of a home made nylon washer and a nose wheel lock makes a great addation to any velocity. no nose wheel shimmy and awsome steering (taxi) on the ground...Jeff

I have the 'thin' belleville washers (with spacer) - and plan on purchasing a new washer kit from the factory, but I thought someone had successfully been using SS washers - and had suggested McMaster as a source...?
