It is a new dual fork nose gear kit. I think the wheel was 1" larger then to one that was removed. I am not sure. Will look the next time I visit the Coupe which is 100 miles south of Hayward. The new assembly is part # SK17A ercoupe nose gear kit. cost $1995.55, + Labor of $150.00.

Hey AL: It sounds like you have the wrong spring installed in your Ercoupe's nose strut. When you say "install a new front fork wheel assembly," is it single fork or dual fork, and what size is the wheel? How much strut shows when the aircraft is sitting static with the 71 inch tail height? You should have 2 3/4 to 3 inches of strut showing. if you have more or less, you need to take the nose strut off and determine what you have. The correct spring length is approximately 6 3/4 inches.

This is what I have done: Had my AP, IA, install a new front fork wheel assembly. Service the main landing gears. Installed all new rubber disks (pucks) on the main gears. Install the 7/16" spacers that I purchased from skyport. What do I do now? Add a second 7/16" spacer? Replace the 7/16" spacer with a 14/16" spacer? Something that I have no clue of?
