head cap screw into the arm and wheel collar. Slide the
metal nose gear wire into the nylon nose gear bearing,
nose gear steering arm and engine mount. The coil of the
nose gear wire should rest on the nylon nose gear bearing.
Tighten the set screw against the flat spot in the nose
gear wire.

11. Cut one of the 24" [610mm] gray outer pushrod tubes
in half, making two 12" [305mm] tubes. Roughen one end of
the outer pushrod tube with sandpaper. Insert the end you
did not roughen into the hole in the firewall adjacent to the
nose gear steering arm (see the photo at step 13). Apply
glue to the roughened end of the outer pushrod tube and
insert it into the firewall, allowing the end of the tube to
extend approximately 1/4" [6mm] beyond the firewall. Do the
same with the second tube, inserting it into the hole in the
firewall for the throttle pushrod and through the hole in the
former, behind the firewall.
❏
12. Locate a .074 x 36" [1.9 x 450mm] pushrod wire.
From the unthreaded end of the wire, cut a 15" [381mm]
long, unthreaded pushrod wire. Insert the pushrod into the
outer pushrod tube for the nose gear steering.
❏
13. Locate the brass screw-lock pushrod connector,
4-40 x 1/8" [4-40 x 3mm] socket head cap screw and nylon
retainer. Install it on the steering arm as shown in the
sketch, tightening the set screw to the wire pushrod. Be sure
to leave approximately 3/8" [9.5mm] of wire extending
through the screw-lock pushrod connector to allow for
adjustment to the steering.
❏
14. From the remainder of the 36" wire you cut, thread a
nylon clevis onto the threaded end of the wire 20 turns.
Install a silicone clevis retainer onto the clevis. Then, install
the pushrod into the outer pushrod tube for the throttle.
Install the clevis on the carburetor arm. Depending on the
exact location of your carburetor, you may need to make a
small bend in the wire to get free movement of the throttle
and pushrod.

15. Carefully cut out the left and right halves of the ABS
nose gear fairing.
❏
16. The next two steps are going to require you to work
rather quickly so be sure you have 6-minute epoxy,
microballoon filler and a small piece of waxed paper ready.
Mix 1/2 ounce of 6-minute epoxy. Add some microballoon
filler. Spread a small amount along the inside edges of both
the left and right fairing. Move quickly and don’t worry if it is
not too uniform. We are not filling up the fairing; only building
up the edges as shown in the photo at step 18.
