Did the new shim replace one of the 3 spacers already in place and ,if so, which one. 4. Were longer bolts needed and, if so, what size? 5. Did the caster need adjusting and, if so, was a separate shim used and, if so, where did this shim go?? 6. Did adding the "TOE ANGLE" shim affect the available space for the tire in the wheel-well and, if so, what corrective action was required? On a different topic, I am thinking of replacing my McCreedy tires with Goodyears. Has anyone done this without having to enlarge the tire opening in the fuselage?

  I understand that after making the measurements called for, the results are sent to Ross at the factory and he sends back a set of shims to correct the TOE ANGLE.  I was thinking of having the shims cut locally and would like to know:

1.  what was the factory charge for the shims?
2.  How long did it take?
3.  Did the new shim replace one of the 3 spacers already in place             
     and ,if so, which one.
4.  Were longer bolts needed and, if so, what size?
5.  Did the caster need adjusting and, if so, was a separate shim
     used and, if so, where did this shim go??
6.  Did adding the "TOE ANGLE" shim affect the available space
     for the tire in the wheel-well and, if so, what corrective action
     was required?
