    • In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.
    • We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction).
    • Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Haven't asked a dumb question in a long time so - -
I have two sets of Goodyear wheels / brakes. One set has spacers on both sides the other set has no spacers. I rebuilt the ones with spacers and installed them today. They don't fit, I only have 3/8" to 1/2" of threaded axel showing after assembly.
My axel and spacer lengths are to plans. The wheels are identical width from outside snap ring to inside snap ring. I am thinking the outside spacer should not be there ?? Cannot think of any other way to get the thread's needed for the nut and wheel pant bracket.
