Figure 84 interference cure
You may experience interference between the undercarriage leg and the bolt head
as shown. If so file a rebate in the undercarraige leg as required. Make sure edges
are smooth and protect the bare metal with some paint or laquer.
4.3 Nose Gear
Refer to Figure 85.
a) If no spats are to be fitted apply grease to the inside of the nose wheel lower
and upper guides. If spats are to be fitted, then leave this until the nose leg is
removed to fit the spat.
This is to minimise the risk of contaminating the rubber washers with
grease. It is best to leave fitting the spats until the end of the build,
otherwise they are likely to suffer damage during the rest of the build
(yes you will drop that hammer on it!).
b) Slide the nose leg up through the lower guide.
c) Put a large steel washer, then 7 rubber washers, then another large steel
washer, onto the nose leg before sliding it up through the upper mount.
Washers and axle parts may be packed separately
marked ‘88’.
Check the number of rubber washers supplied, you may receive an
extra one or two. Use only the specified number.
It is important that the nose leg should be free to swivel in its guides
with little or no perceptible friction.
If the nose leg is stiff to turn due to a slight misalignment between the
upper and lower brackets try turning it around 180°.
If the nose leg still does not easily align with the upper bracket in a
side-to-side manner, slide it clear of the upper bracket and gently apply
a tweak to the lower mount using the nose leg itself as a lever. The aim
is to achieve good alignment to remove any friction in the rudder
controls. If a small tweak does not suffice, the holes securing the lower
guide may be elongated slightly, parallel with the nose leg. Do not
