I just completed the nose gear modification on my  RV6A and used a cobbled-up method of checking and setting the 'break out' force  as called for by Van. (22-lbs)

  

 I would like to find a source for a push scale,  likely a spring scale, to more accurately measure the break out force to insure  against any shimmy or other problems. I flew once after the mod and had the  force way too light and got good shimmy. I've re-adjusted it but am still a bit  leery.

  

 Any sources you know of? I checked the usual ones  and came up dry.

  

 Thanks for any pointers.

Almost any fish scale will work.  Look in your local big-box store.
