Hi all
it there a rebuild kit available for the Matco tail wheel
I have quite a bit of play in it, I removed the bolt and bushes and there is a bit of wear on them
I can’t see replacement parts anywhere
or do I have to buy a new setup
thanks Nick

I just picked the first tailwheel on the list but scroll to the bottom of the page and they have every single part in the assembly listed for individual sale.

If you delve a bit further, you will see this. 3D-T8 - Sheet1 (matcoals.com) (https://matcoals.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/3D-T8.pdf)

Once you find the parts you want, see this. scroll down on the page for the parts and prices... TAILWHEEL, 8" PNEU - Matco Aircraft Landing Systems (matcoals.com) (https://matcoals.com/product/tailwheel-8-pneu/)

You may have a different model, but I think all the pages are set up in much the same way.

There are at least two different types. I ordered the wrong rebuild kit by mistake.
One uses a solid pin the other uses a hollow pin with a bigger diameter.
