Eliacim,
I presume you have the Forney double fork and not the Univair Double
fork shown in the (Univair reprint) Parts Catalog on p. 21 (which
utilizes a shorter taxi spring to compensate for the taller nose gear
assembly with the 5" wheel and tire).
On coupes with the Forney double fork, new donuts will NOT bring the
tail up enough for the desired level sill. Order the spacer kit also
from Skyport.
Regards,
WRB

Correct, I have double fork and large front wheel.
Lynn, to save me some homework and wasted time for missing parts,
could you recommend which parts should I buy?
Just the eight rubber donuts, or there is something else, like O
rings, snap ring, etc. I would likely find worn and in need of repair
/ replacement? Once I take the thing apart, I would rather err on
having extra parts, than fewer thank I need.

Hey Eliacim: What size nose wheel is on your plane? The 75 inch height
is for the original Coupe with the 4 inch diameter nose wheel. If you
have a double nose fork/or large nose wheel, the tail should be
higher.
