Hi Steve,
Sorry to hear about your problem. If your Coupe is still a Certified
Aircraft then you are into an area that should be dealt with by the
Canadian version of an A&P/IA and if you are in that new Canadian program
that looks like an Experimental Aircraft then this is a very good example
of why these aircraft are not ever properly able to come back to
Certificated status. This kind of a repair requires a detailed assessment
of the part in question and as it sounds like a repair to a previous
repair
my vote would be for replacement of the part (it would not have to be with
a new one, a serviceable one from a scraped Coupe would do just fine, if
you can find one and I would think you can).
Good luck,
Vern

Thanks to all those who replied to my query about dismantling my Forney
nose gear.
As is always the case, when it was apart I found a problem that
I am not sure how to deal with.
The plane was put into a gopher hole in the late 60's, and the
engine mount and a bunch of other stuff was repaired.
Now that I examine the gear I find that the the lower gear mount
on the outer tube was welded, and has in fact cracked along part of the
weld. I have a certified welding shop in town and will show them
both the mount and the gear for their opinion.
But I am wondering about the advisability of welding the gear tube.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Univair is asking 650 US$ for a new
one so I would prefer not to go that route unless necessary.
