Seems like you could pretty easily bend an offset into that arm, and mount it flush to the case.

There was a nuclear power plant in San Onofre, Calif for many years, alongside I-5 pretty much right on the beach. Operated from 1968 til 2012....

Do you have a thread gauge? As I recall, the exhaust studs on my old Cont O-300 were coarse thread (5/16-18) on one end, and fine thread (5/16-24)...

Apparently yes there is. Includes approval for 850x10, 29x10, & 31x10 tires. Grove 10 Inch Wheels & Brakes (groveaircraft.com)

Seems like a lot of big tires on skywagons are more for show than for go. As long as you're operating on airstrips, and not mud bogs or gravel bars,...

Pretty tough to beat using the firewall as a datum, like most (but not all) of the post-war Cessnas. Unlike extended gear legs, leading edge cuff...

These errors could all be eliminated if the arms were accurately measured when weighing the airplane. Or even when just calculating changes...you...

I've had the same experience of the arms not matching the TCDS and/or previous W&B sheets. Lots of Cessna taildraggers have had MLG legs changed,...
