Thanks to all those who have declared an interest in the Trigear bungee
replacement springs. At this moment 13 builders have said they are
interested.
Here is some background so you know where we have got to.
Two springs have been used to replace the nose wheel bungee and this has
been done on at least five aircraft (on the Dutch register).

Might I suggest some more research into spring availability.
First, springs are available using square section wire, which would be less
agressive
on the gear leg attachment stub, and the LG01. I wonder if 5 years down
the line there will be grooves worn in the structure. I would also much prefer
to see some sort of protection to prevent this future problem.
Danley Spring Co make a huge range of springs, the Long EZ nose gear spring is
a Danley and its square wire. (Compression though, not tension)
