I recommend going back to the washers. Even though they do require longer bolts, the load is spread much more evenly.

I will follow your recommendation Mel. Plus it's a good reason to fly to Canada. I know a place there with tons of free washers.

Nose Gear brace
Gust lock
Would love to install the Almost 14 in my 7A, little scared of screwing up something important in the structure, canopy fit (slider).

Anti-Splat Aero - Excellent!
1. Nose job
2.Oil separator
3. Nose wheel bearing mod
4. Vertical stabilizer bracket
5. Almost-a- RV-14 mod (absolutely love my seating position now!)
6. Lip skid
7. Axle and nose fork nut wrench
8. Pulse oximeter (fun to play with)
As others have said, service from Anti-Splat is quick and friendly. They are always a pleasure to deal with.

1. Nose gear brace
2. Nose wheel bearing mod
3. Skid plate
4. Gust lock
5. Almost a 14 seat mod
The seat mod really made the plane roomier. A friend of mine sat in my plane and ordered one for his 9A, although after installation he found he needed a little thicker seat cushion for landings.

almost 14 for petersb
I think I did the first 14 seat mod to a tip up and I want to do another in either tip up or slider. After doing mine I think it would work well to put the brace in place before you remove the original seat back brace. This should eliminate any movement of parts that might result in any misalignment of the canopy.
I just picked up my latest antisplat order. Not only did I get it in three days but for some reason I got a discount. Way to go Alan!!!!!

I bought one and was dissatisfied with its quality. Allan contacted me and offered to do whatever it would take - no arguments there, good service and I'd buy from him again. Instead, I gave it away and replaced it with one that I like from Amazon.
My gripe with it was that its readings didn't compare well to an expensive medical one I've also got. The new one does.

Bought the gust lock from Erich.  I don't use it often (most of my flights are lunch hops on calm days) but it's great to have for those overnighters.

IMHO you don't need the gust lock for the wind as much as you need it to protect your control surfaces from the knucklehead airplane drivers who prop-blast you with their engines at 2000 rpm with no consideration as to who or what is behind them. I always use my gust lock.
