Meant to say in the title that it is a Matco wheel, NW600CC that has the one inch spacer ring in between the wheel haves.

Hello fellow builders, checked with Dan N. builder from Tennessee says his nose wheel was/is just the two side haves. So wonder what I have in this kit?

This is purely a guess but perhaps the spacer is to make a wider rim. The 800-6 is a pretty big (and wide) tire and would not fit well on a skinny nose wheel intended for a smaller tire. Maybe the spacer is to give you a wheel width more suited to the large tire?

Matco is still in operation, have you tried contacting their technical people? Good luck!

Called Matco tech support fellow names George. Seemed to say spacers have been sent out with the nw600cc wheels, but did not seem to grasp that mine do not fit together well enough fit the three Allen wrench screws to hold the wheel sturdy together. Wants pictures. Anybody known how to send pictures? Bill

10 months have gone by so you probably have this resolved one way or another.  Thought I'd reply just in case it helps someone else...

I also have the NW600CC wheel (kit purchased from Zenith ~2008).  I've not had it apart yet, but it looks like you need to have that 1" spacer lined up just right to get the wheel bolted back together.  See the attached file.

Bill;
This is Sam McNair. I found your (scratchy) voice mail message apparently days after you left it and never could find in my call log where I missed your call. The phone number that I think that you left in the message goes to someone else. I am up in Maine with my 801 and wont be back until end of first week of August. I would be glad to fly with you. Text or email me your contact info.
Sam McNair ssm6791@gmail.com 864-617-3192 Apologies i can't get the darn web site to accept a message to you any other way than this.
