Hi,
For those of us that can't return a nose gear leg to the factory to be modified from old to new (shipping costs are more than it is worth), has anybody got specific details on the changes needed?
I understand that the thread needs to be cut further up the nose leg and a 'bit' chopped off the bottom.
The Axel nut is an MS21025-20 - this suggests a 1.25" diameter with a 16 TPI thread. 16 TPI is a 'strange' pitch, UNF is 12 TPI, UNC is 7. If I need to get a die - what 'type' am I looking for?
Anybody done this themselves?
Thanks for any pointers,
Carl
