FORGOT..... HOW DID YOU DO WITH YOUR NEW SEAT RAILS ?
At 11:04am on August 21, 2011, KENNETH DRUMHELLER said…

CONTACTED MATCO REGARDING THE GREASING OF THEIR WHEEL BEARINGS.  BEARINGS ON MH6B WHEELS DO NOT REQUIRE GREESE AND ARE SEALED.  THE OPTIONAL MHE8B HAVE TAPERED BEARINGS AND REQUIRE GREESE.  SORRY I TOOK SO LONG TO RESPOND BUT I JUST GOT TO THIS PHASE OF MY BUILD.  ANOTHER NOTE, I PURCHASED THEIR HUBCAPS  FOR THE MAIN GEAR AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT BE USED ON THE NOSE GEAR.  WRONG

DRILL OUT THE CENTER. MOUNT ON BOTH SIDES AND THEY LOOK GREAT. HAVE FUN.

I read in the 750 forum that you ordered seat rails from Sparco Motor Sports.  Would appreciate any feed-back you have since my build is at this point.  One concern is the increase in height the seat would have with the rails installed.  thx

Hi John,

Thanks for the email, Zenith must have finally approved my profile. Look forward to meeting you and seeing your project. Waiting of the second edition plans with the 1,440 lb gross to arrive. I'll be going down to Mexico, MO for the open house next month.

Congratulations, I am about to order the tools and empennage kit also, have been following the development of the 750 for past year and love what I see, a step into the future from my old J-3 (30 years ago)
