Nose gear fork part 2

 Finished up the nose gear fork install.

Using a spring scale to set the preload on the nose gear fork mounting nut.


Then drilling the cotter pin hole.



Then installing the bolts and washers that serve as mounting points for the towbar.

Van's shorted me on washers so this side has to wait.  Van's in the past supplied tons of extra hardware.  Now you are lucky to have just enough to finish the job.  If you lose, damage, any of the hardware is flawed, or they shorted you, there will not be enough. :(

Next is installing the axle, spacers and shims.


All done...
