Posted for Sky2high@aol.com:
I have complained for some time about the looseness of the over-center link
where it is joined to the nose gear strut tabs on my Lancair 320. The bolt
on the left was removed recently and the main shaft diameter is .246" while
at
the worn area adjacent to the threads it is only .223". A very slight wear
area can be seen one washer thickness from the head. The seriously worn
area
is within the rolled thread area and where the shank is first necked down to
the threads when compared to a new bolt on the right. Oops.
I suggest that such a bolt is replaced with a longer one and a washer or two
is added before the castle nut so that the solid shaft is presented as a
bearing surface for the strut tabs.
