----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Just a note from someone who know's just enough about welding to be dangerous, weld repairs on tube, are generally only OK in applications where tension or compression will be applied.  If there is any chance that torsion or leverage will be applied, I doubt it'd be advisable to try and repair any part------just my thoughts while sitting here in a drug induced stupor. ( hurt hell out of leg and doctor says turning into a drug addict is best for now.   Larry  ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; flyin@ercoupers.com ; tech@ercoupers.com Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2003 6:13 PM Subject: Re: [COUPERS-FLYIN] more nose gear ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- In a message dated 7/8/03 11:25:36 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > But I am wondering about the advisability of welding the gear tube. The manufacturer's service bulletin should be your first resource.  Assuming you determine a weld repair is acceptable, AC 43.13-1B has extensive information on how to make acceptable weld repairs to tubing structures.  It's available on line from the FAA web site (faa.gov Advisory Circulars), but be forwarned, it's mega megabytes.
