Graham,
That's a very good point you make ...it had crossed my mind to probably
get a nylon sleeve pushed on to the ends of the spring and/or a piece of
nylon suitably wrapped round the members onto which the springs will
act.( probably clipped with Junilee Clips)

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).
Ian & all
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)
