Many thanks All.
My nose wheel assembly has no bungee straps but modified by springs.
It also has the speed kit fit to it, so you can not see the actual metal leg.
I find the drawings on this part not very helpful, but all this seems the same
problem like the Torque tube, elongated holes,
I fitted Pat Tunnys clamps a year ago, now I have an absolutely no play in the
tail plane.
Nuts Bolts and holes, Crazy, why not a welded solid leg bets me.
However back to the Nuts and bolts,
On further examination today, I pulled the wheel sideways towards me,
placed a block of wood on the ground against the tyre and pushed the wheel away
---From me, the movement was about 1".
I noticed at the top of the leg a little bolts and with my finger nails felt
movement,
half way down the leg, there is another bolt horizontally through the
leg, again I could see movement,
Could not feel any movement in the axial housing or wheel bearings,
there could be a little movement in other parts at the top of the assemble,?
So in all the components that make up the nose gear in total about 1" side to
side
movement where the tyre meets the ground.
Once you have movement it only get bigger and quicker.
So far I can see these two bolts one at the very top and the other half way down
the leg, could fit slightly thicker bolts, any special care or type of bolt
to use?
Anybody else checked for movement here.
