Doug Bell Sr. posted something about making parts for attaching a towbar to a tailwheel. Sounded like the setup I'm using.
DAR's chime in on the best method for replacing the castle nut (the only problem with this system)
You use a longer axle bolt and make 2 bushings 3/8 x 5/8 x whatever length you want. I think I used 5/16 or 3/8 long.
Tried to use a castle nut, but the key stops the towbar from sliding on. My solution was a thin stop nut. Then a smaller key wrapped arround the axle.
When the Bell tailwheel fork arrives I will have to redo. Thinking of using a axle bole with no hole, and a full size all metal stop nut.
What do you think?
Of course, use at your on risk. Your tail wheel may fall off, your plane may explode, flip or just dissapear if you do this.
