2JsAero Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 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.
kortopates Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sabremech Posted March 16, 2016 Report Posted March 16, 2016 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. www.gdsaero.com David 2
2JsAero Posted March 16, 2016 Author Report Posted March 16, 2016 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...
Yetti Posted March 16, 2016 Report Posted March 16, 2016 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.
N601RX Posted March 16, 2016 Report Posted March 16, 2016 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!
RLCarter Posted March 16, 2016 Report Posted March 16, 2016 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.
2JsAero Posted March 17, 2016 Author Report Posted March 17, 2016 Thanks Everyone for your help and input! Sabremech is helping me out with this. 1
