My dad converted his 4 speedster. He got it from Kitfox, not sure if it was from a 5. I took it off and converted back to taildragger. Do you have grove gear? I have all the parts, short the mount that is still welded on.

I'll take a look later and see if I still have the invoice. It had been laying in the box of receipts.

I converted mine to a nose gear, using the factory conversion kit.
They sent me the wheel, fork, sub-frame that bolts right on and a couple of tubes that had to be cross welded in the fuse.
besides the extra brace welding, installation went fast and easy.

I’ve got a brand new never flown nose gear from a 7 that I’ll sell.

My Model 4 was converted to a nose wheel when I bought it (I believe was for a seven. I converted it back but do have the nose wheel part for sale, not the spring gear however because I kept that.

I'm looking for a nose gear assembly for KF4 if anyone has a kit or one removed they no longer want or need.
