Does anyone know the part number for the spring loaded key that fits in the tailwheel shaft to keep it from swiveling? Its for an RV-6 with stock tailwheel assembly from vans. tia.

If the problem is that the key sticks, from what I've read you can file off the burrs that form with use and relubricate to restore normal function.

The problem is I have no key

was never installed.

You might also need to dress the cutout notch in the steering control arm with a file. If you ask him, Vince will email you a couple PDF files with pics showing how to make the pin and notch fit a little better.

If you want to buy it from Van's, just give them a call - they know the part number. There are many of them hiding in dark corners of hangars and workshops - after being launched by their springs!

I think Ill order 2

just in case mine gets launched!
