Hi Bill,Gary is right. It is a special US Standard Non-swivel tailwheel fork. Really,it is a non-swivel. I just have a lot of sag in my chains which allows it toturn 90 degrees to either side. It works out very well for me and allows forturning in tight areas even without brakes. Oh, no shimmies either. Come tothe west coast Piet gathering next year and I will demonstrate it for you.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: ELT requirement UNCLASSIFIEDI would really suggest getting the ELT that uses coppertop D cell batteries.

Could be I'm missing something here, but if your oil temps are running over 400F,you probably have a problem; could that actually be 220?--------Tom KreinerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: What oil in a Corvair?
