I didn't fit the roll pin designed to limit travel, but useless by all
accounts (it shears on first use!) and instead blocked the slot with a blob
of flox.
I used grease (or clingfilm - can't recall) and inserted the tailwheel
spring, to prevent flox filling the void and It worked a treat - it's still
in the slot several years later.
Silicone sealant might work as well, if you're past the resin stage of your
build.

Subject: Europa-List: Tail wheel fork
--> <wilwood@earthlink.net>
I have the tailwheel fork which has the slot cut out on the inside of the
fork which defeats the purpose of having an enclosed capsule to contain the
grease. Might there be anyone who has a tailwheel fork without the slot
they are not going to use, maybe because of converting from a mono to a tri.
I have attached a picture to show the slot I am talking about.
Additionally I have an unused mono aluminum rim, axle and brakes I am not
going to use if they are of interest to anyone.
Thanks,
Bill
