    Default Tripacer nose wheel +

    We are looking for a complete nose wheel (supports and all) - hard landing damaged ours. Three of us own this plane and we are not interested in becoming "real" men yet and going to a taildragger so if you have your nose wheel sitting around we would love to buy it!

    I have a whole spare set of landing gear, but I don't really want to part with it before putting my airplane back together.
    Fortunately for you, TriPacer nose wheels should be plentiful...
    If after a few years of searching ( :shock: ) you don't find one, give me a yell...

    ( I'm guessing SteveP has one with your name on it)

    I have a rusted one hanging on the fence but I don't think I have a good one. I will look in the storage hanger tomorrow and I know someone who has a spare that I will contact.

    I have a complete landing gear setup for a tripacer that I would be willing to part with. Right and left main gear, nose wheel strut, etc and mount. As I have not had any of it looked at by a mechanic I cant really represent actual condition. It all looks decent to me but should probably be gone through by someone who knows what to look for. Feel free to drop me a line if you want a few pictures and any data from the airplane it came off of.

    I have 2 or 3 nose gear systems off of conversions sitting upstairs in the hanger. Call me at 541-826-9729 if you are interested.

    Edit,

    I see you are in Washington. We are in Southern Oregon, so not too far away for shipping.

    If I were you I would give Steve a call. I pulled my nosewheel setup out last night and I would call my nosegear setup a "rebuilder" now that I have actually laid eyes on it again recently. Good luck with your project.
