Gidday,
I am wondering if others have found corrosion around the welds on the new
tailwheel forks. On the inside of my fork there is significant corrosion,
and I believe I will need it rewelded to ascertain its integrity. It has
been in a plastic bucket with a lid all this time, and all other
componentry within are OK. The surface is plated or something too, whilst
the metal seems to be aluminium. When I find my magnet I will know. So, if
anyone else has had this problem I would appreciate knowing.
