Nose gear bolt. Thank you note!
I read about the bolt that holds nose gear to engine mount on the Tri-gear. My bolt was tight as I check torque, but when I looked because of reports on this site I found the washer deformed under the nut but had a little clicking when I hooked up tow bar and moved plane around. I bought the NAS 6605-26 bolt as suggested and replaced the AN bolt. Now the gear is tight and feels solid when moving around. Yes, the taper pin would be best but that is for another day. George
