GSE Tools

[2JsAero]

Does anyone have CAD drawing or dimensions of Landing Gear / GSE tools?  More particularly the Nose wheel Preload check tool, 030008 for Manual Retraction / Nose Gear?  Obviously you get the intent behind my question - I want to make my own.   Thanks anybody that has ideas or other suggestions.

AFAIK you won't find a Mooney drawing for the tools. But people have duplicated them and cheap knock-offs abound on EBay. There not expensive.

Not exactly what you're looking for but I manufacture them new and have a few extra nose preload tools from sets that some customers only needed the main tool.

Thanks David.  I may give you a call.  Prices I've seen have had me discouraged from straight up purchasing, when I have the ability to make one myself.  Obviously don't want to go into business making these or take business from you, but was looking for a couple key dimensions more than anything...

Grandfather said "A real craftsman makes his own tools"   His last name was Smith.   We had to sell all the blacksmith tools and such.   Just not enough time to learn and use.

A copy of a carefully measured and copied original is fine, but when you get a copy of a copy of a copy things start to get iffy!

I purchased both tools (mains & nose gear), they wouldn't be hard to make but they are reasonably priced and probably cheaper to buy depending on what your time is worth.
