Re: Replacing tubes and tires

Re: Confused with Landing Gear Side Brace Fitment bolt P/N 706

Spoke with my A&P who said just to fabricate a .5 inch OD by 5/16 inch ID by 1/8 inch long steel bushing to keep the screw end centered. My guess is my spar is wider than the supplied shoulder bolt part.

My issue is ...
