 Posted: Tue May 08, 2007 8:06 pm Post subject: Crack in WD-1017 |
 |
|
A couple of weeks ago while I was working on my nose wheel fairing, I discovered a crack in my WD-1017 (see pictures). I had inspected the 1017 before I installed it last fall and other than pushing the airplane in and out of the hanger once, it has just sat there. You might want to inspect yours. I returned it to Vans and they have provided me a new one.
After removing the 1017 to send it back, it looked like the left flange was angled out slightly.

Interesting!
I just mounted mine and the gap is 2.54 MM (0.097") too tight and because of the way its made I cannot move it. If that gap was open and the tightened bolt closes it, then you have the problem in your pictures.
I thought I had two options. Return the part to vans or machine the two mm off the bushing and get all the tolerances right.
My plan is to machine the bushing to fit and leave the weldment alone.
Hmmmm..
