All
I am about to assemble my nose gear and shimmy damper and intend purchasing some
of the damping grease from Newgateonline as recommended.
I can find no mention of this damping grease in any Europa documentation or
indeed
on the Europa Club website so I'm assuming it has come about from experience
during operations. I did find some old threads on this forum which provided
some background to it's use.
However, before I rush out and purchase, I have a few questions:
Mod 59 installed an O ring to prevent grease getting onto the friction plate but
am I right in thinking that this damping grease is used between the shimmy
damper
friction plate and the nose leg bearing housing?
Also, have owners used it to fill the fork spindle bearing housing via the
grease
nipple?
The build manual has no mention of the grease to use in the spindle housing, so
I guess some general purpose Aeroshell No 5 would be OK?
Many thanks.
