Tailspring Hole, Help

Post by 6319 »

I'm ordering a Tailspring from Univair after reading all the helpful info on this site. I asked about attachment holes due to my AN6 fuselage Bolt and Scott 3200 Tailwheel 7/16 Bolt. Early s/n 121749
Univair say the fuselage attach end of the spring set has a 5/8 dia hole. Measured and verified 5/8 hole for a 3/8 bolt.
Is this correct ??

Yes, Insert a piece of rubber hose in the spring holes before inserting the bolt.

Thanks, Mike. When I re-visited the article saw the hose. Found the 1/4 pads at WagAero.
