Just got my new Bell Tailwheel fork. It installed nicely down to the point I was ready to install my new tail wheel recently purchased from Van's. I noticed when I went to put it into my old Van's tailwheel fork last week that it was really tight, couldn't use the washers as before, even pressed the bearings to make sure they were fully seated. When I went to mount it in the Bell Fork, there was just no way it would fit with the spacers. Called Van's to find out that they had changed suppliers and the new ones were wider. Van's stated that is just the way it is, all we have, move along; nothing to see here. Got to talking with them about the new "lighter, more expensive one"and found out they are about the same as the old ones. Oh well, it's only airplane money.
Just thought I would pass this along.
