 Hello Fellow KIS TR-1 Builders and Pilots, I am seeking some information  that I hope you will be able to help me with.

  

 1) If you are using 3/4 inch inside diameter Belleville washers to provide  the friction for your nose landing gear swivel I would appreciate knowing what  washers you are using and any comments on their use. Here are some potential  candidates:

 2) I would like to know the diameter and thread count for the oil drain  plug on the Continental IO-240 BXB engine. Continental part number is either:  

  

 PN: 656169 at US $437.35 for each engine ...... B1B through .......  B31B

  

 or

  

 PN: 636376 at US $113.06 each for engine ....B32B

  

 See here:

 I believe that the diameter and thread count for both of these part numbers  is identical. I am seeking this information so that I can buy a Saf-Air oil  quick drain plug for my IO-240 B9B engine. See here:

 Thanks for your help.

OC, The nose wheel on my TR-4 also uses 3/4" ID Belleville washers. As far as I remember the FASTENAL SKU is 33358 with a UNSPSC number of 31161825 and I have had no issues with them. I hope this helps.
