<DIV><FONT color=#000000>The compulsory nose gear retrofit referred to in SB#9

of 2/15/88 was another crutch to make the original rubber donut nose gear

tolerable.&nbsp; It diddled the Belleville washers and I believe swapped

aluminum casings.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000>The 1K retrofit is a replacement of the whole nose gear

assembly with an oleo strut like the 320 uses but not interchangable with the

320.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT>&nbsp;Suggest you contact William Bartlett (<A

href="wtbart [at] olympus.net (mailto:)

">wtbart [at] olympus.net</A>) before using the old

rubber donut nose gear even with Lancair's free fixes.&nbsp; He has made it work

longer than anyone else I know of.&nbsp; Most of us with 235s paid the 1k for

the oleo strut which really does kill the problems.</DIV>
