During the days that I had a flying C177RG, flying Glastar and an RV10 under construction, we also planned to use the Glastar on unimproved fields. I acquired an RV10 nose fork, the correct Matco nose wheel (not the vans 501.25 but the 511.25), axle and RV10 spacer kit. We also manufactured a sleeve so that the fork would fit the smaller nose gear legs of the Glastar and two place RVs. As an aside we put a metric tire on the Cleveland Glastar mains and had a Glastar with about 4” more ground/prop clearance. Since the Glastar was sold and the new owner preferred the original wheel/pant installation, I have the complete fork/nose wheel combination for sale. Some of the new builders may be interested in the correct Matco wheel, axle and spacers. The vans supplied SS sleeves to hold the nose wheel bearings in place so that the wheel rotates on the bearings last but a few hours, then the sleeves start rotating and “eat” the aluminum fork. I saw one RV10 purchased aircraft whose owner wondered why he had such a tough time steering while I looked to find the nose wheel oscillating back and forth at about a 30 degree angle. Anyway the fork/wheel/axle/bearings/spacer/sleeve is available. Contact me by direct email if interested. A picture is available on request.
