What is currently being used for the tapered tail wheel spring to mount the tail wheel assy?
API it is. thank you. I ordered mine today. They were very helpful over the phone.
I used the API 20* 4" full swivel tailwheel with the API 3/4 to 5/8 spring as Kenny did. Only difference is I have a lathe and turned the rod to fit myself. Also, I have a direct link instead of springs. I am very happy with the setup. If I had to do it again, I'd drill the forward attach bolt horizontally instead of vertically (I followed the holes in the tailwheel housing.) This seems to be an area of weakness for RVs using this wheel. Response is fantastic and I get the benefit of full swivel when needed.View attachment 15786
I was going to install an API caster on my 2L, now I have a GPAS 5” wheel ive used on grass strips. I was considering API’s 6” inch wheel and a 10 degree yoke, but I noticed you have a 20. Maybe the 20 is a better choice? Thanks , Dennis
