Landing gear bolt wear
I'm just finishing the annual on my PA22/20. I replaced the AN6 upper pivot bolts on the gear legs to (successfully) rectify a little looseness, but I'm left with a little bit of looseness of the AN5 bolts attaching the hydrasorbs to the gear legs.
What can I do to fix that? Any suggestions?

Re: Landing gear bolt wear
I keep finding the outboard flap hinges on Carbon Cubs worn and have rectified it with close tolerance bolts until Cub Crafters comes up with a fix. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catal...ickkey=3016638

I installed AN175 bolts at each end of the hydra sorbs, and the sideways movement of each wheel halved to less than .125". I'll settle for that.

Re: Landing gear bolt wear
Anyone know where I can get AN175-30's for a decent price? I only need 2 however the place that will sell just 2 wants $20 each or I can buy a bunch for just $10 more. Wondering if anyone else with a PA-22 has a need like I do for the scissors. The top and bottoms are -30 and the middle one is -20 which has new bushings and reamed already amazing difference zero slop. I thought about buying enough to sell the bolt kits 2 x 30's and 1 x 20. Not sure it's worth the trouble. Rather just find a couple bolts and be done with it. Thoughts?

On that topic: I'd like to replace my AN6 upper pivots and the hydrasorp AN5 ones on my 1959 PA22/20 (I have the UNIVAIR taildragger STC) and am not sure about the right length (particularly on the AN6/upper pivot ones)
I was just gonna order (taken from the standard PA22 Univair Parts catalogue):
4x AN6-27 (not sure about them being drilled) + AN365-624
4x AN5-15 + AN310-5 and AN960-516
Can someone confirm these please (so I don't have to go out and measure) - thx

Re: Landing gear bolt wear
Do you have the drawing CD? Should be in there. No difference there between the Tri-Pacer and conversion.
