It does help and you did a better job at finding than I did. The Camloc spring door is now 22.75 at Aircraftspruce. Wicks is currently 10.50.

Thanks to all for the info.

Too late on the Michellin tubes unless it's what Vans supplies now. That would be the NEXT (and first) tire/tube change.

When locating the access door, where are people putting it? On the 7a with the new style nose wheel brackets, 6:00 puts it in the bracket.

I put my access door directly aft of - and in line with - the access hole for the 1/4" bolt for the rear wheelpant. I used another of those stainless snap-in covers to plug the hole . I'm happy with both the practicality and appearance.

I used the 3 o'clock position on the nose gear. I had to trim a bit off the wheel pant bracket to allow for the access door to swing open.




Access doors on the mains are aft of the bracket.

Agree with Paul and others that it's better to pull a wheel pant and check everything but if you insist () here's the setup on a show plane I saw:
