Keeping a spare tube handy is a great idea! I visited Eric's site, but did not see spare tubes offered for sale. Where did you source your spare tube from?

Hi Rob,

I don’t sell them because people can get them cheaper by buying them directly from Aircraft Spruce, or Wicks. Mine come from Aircraft Spruce and I get a very small discount.

for the Tundra, order Aircraft Spruce Part #: 06-08102

What is the tube part number for the 10" tire? (not Tundra).

I will be tuning my axle and kingpin fit as you described previously!

Thanks so much, Eric!

I had to cut and weld my bracket to get the correct pivot angle, since my titanium spring is softer than the steel spring. That helped a lot, but still had occasional shimmy. Using about 20 psi helped, but packing the bearing and shaft with the super stiff fuel lube grease cured it completely.

Rod, the 10" tube is Aircraft spruce Part# 06-00761.

Not sure if this was mentioned.....
I had a bit of trouble with the strap bracket deforming and contributed to shimmy. Jack weight off tailwheel and check for free play. I had posted a previous post on my Jon Battson mod that has worked out well.

hope helpful.
