Well I've built my O200 engine mount over the last couple of days, from plans kindly supplied by Jeff Scott, Thanks Jeff. But as we all know the plans are for a tail dragger and not a trike, therefore they don't have provisions for a nose wheel. Now I've got a nose leg similar to the Dan Diehl type and I have a piece of 1 1/4" I.D. tube that my nose leg slides neatly inside. I intend to fix it to the firewall, and also brace it to the engine mount tubes like some I've seen. The question is How long do I make this 1 1/4" I.D. tube to give enough support to the nose leg??? Does this seem to be a good way of supporting the nose leg??
Thanks Gavin
