Title: Do landing gear forks have ......
Post by: YGT on November 11, 2007, 09:38 PM

a 10mm slotted axle , or take a solid 10mm axle with a larger hole such as a 12mm hole with a top hat style washer?

Cheers

Can't remember on my early non-stamped LG's but my mid 90's LG require a top hat washer

I think the early ones needed the washer too, as did the frames. Only going from memory. In 83 my mate had a PK with LGs and at first, built it up without any of the washers!

Yep, they need the top hat washer on the early unstamped ones too.

Ive even got a couple of sets of 12mm to 10mm top hat washers if anyone needs any. I tried to find some 14mm to 10mm washers for someone the other day and all I could find was 2 sets of 12s!
