  1. OK thanks....will try that next time I remove the strut.
  2. That is not a bad idea Roger. One topic I would be very interested in is removing and re-installing the nose-wheel strut. I have done it three times now (in company of my A&P or L.A.M.E. as we call them here) and always found it a hassle getting the top of the strut back into the Rocker unit (KA4010001) without releasing the steering rods. Is there an easy way to do this? Dave
  3. I recently took delivery of some Desser Monster 600-6.0 6 plys and installed them yesterday. What a difference they make and can't believe I never had a puncture with the AirTrac 4 plys as there didn't seem to be too much between the tarmac and the tube when compared to the "monsters". Have also gone with the consensus and fitted an Aero Classic 400-6 6ply to the nose wheel. Thanks to all for the helpful advice on tire selection. We had quite a hassle initially trying to fit the "monsters" without pinching the tubes in the Matco split rims until I found a post on another forum (from quite a while back) by Roger Lee where he suggested using some woodworking clamps, which subsequently made the task very straightforward. Perhaps Roger might like to re-post that information here as it may save others a lot of anguish. Dave
  4. Thanks Roger...will contact Desser.
  5. Any updates on a suitable replacement for the nose-wheel tyres? I still have the SAVA which was delivered with the airplane 5 years ago (2006 CTsw - Tundra pack) however would like something a bit more robust. I also need to replace the Air Trac 600 x 6.0(4 ply) mains as they are nearly worn out. I recently retro-fitted Matco wheels. I am wondering if the wheel fairings (pants) will accommodate the Desser 8 ply monster retreads without modification? If not, how robust are the Desser 6 plys against thorns etc? Thanks in advance. Dave
