Thanks Tim,
I knew there must be a good reason, and I imagined it must be something along
those
lines but I am surprised it makes a difference and I would never have guessed
in advance.
I'm grateful you have saved me finding out the hard way!
Best wishes
Bill

Subject: Re: Europa-List: Steel nose wheel springs
Hi Bill,
Durig testing the springs in my bird, I discovered that the right spring
touches the rod between the springs. In concert with Nico I placed a piece
of nylon between the spring and the rod. By using two mirror springs you are
able to place both springs at exactly the same place, but in mirror
configuration. Due to this the forces on all parts are equally devided in
the nosegear structure. Than this problem is solved.
Regards, Tim.
