Folks,

I'm trying to verify if the original "two brackets per side" have been replaced by a single bracket per side (U-713C-L and U-713C-R). It should be held on by a single 3/8"x24x3/4" allen screw with washer/lockwasher on each side and hooks around the axel bolt. My understanding is that the new brackets allow easier maintenance without disassembling the nosewheel to fork assembly.

Are there other parts in this assembly? My earlier kit does not have the newer parts and I would like to do things easier. I think drawing C2 has probably been updated too......

Thanks in advance,
Ralph Capen

there are twoo brackets, on each side for the nose gear.

The mains are one ob each side right?, and then is connection
with nut plates to the break bracket... so in reality you have two and
two connections each side...I cannot imagin only one bracket..

It is a lot of strees there.. The nose gear, better be reinforce with fiberglass
or a piece of aluminum....I see a lot of people, find the brackets
completely, cracked, after 5o hrs or so....

Specially landing on grass strips.. that is where the stress and
vibration is the most pronounced...

I hope this will help

Bert,

My mains are one bracket per side with the inboard one being fairly wide and the outboard one attaching to the wheel nut.

The nose gear 'new' version is also one per side - but larger. Same amount of fasteners - but they are all centered around the axle.

Someone sent me the nosegear SB FAQ's.

I too am worried about grass strips........I'm based at one.

Thanks,
Ralph

It is ONE bracket per side. Each bracket has four "tabs"
that are attached to the aft nose wheelpant. I had to use
flox to fill gaps and used #8 nutplates/screws to attach the
tabs to the wheelpant
