Brief Description: Tried to install Viking nose gear spacer
Raised the nose of the plane and removed the wheel and fork from the strut. Test-fit the Viking nose gear spacer. Turns out it is too small to accommodate my mounting holes. I didn't expect a perfect fit, but there is no way it will work. The spacer is 3.25" square and I need 3.5". So I reassembled and lowered the nose. Need to see how Viking is on returns. Also ordered some square bar stock from Midwest Steel and Aluminum that is 3 1/2" square. I figure I can bore my own holes and fabricate the part myself.
