Good morning - hope it's been (financial markets notwithstanding) a decent week for everyone.
I recently bought a set of AA's rebuilt Boge front struts replacing the worn out ones in the '75. I got the old ones out but the replacement Boge ones don't fit the same way. More specifically with the ones I removed the threaded Hexagon-head bolt (914 341 804 00 with red arrow) threaded all the way down whereas the with the supplied Boge one it will only thread about 1/2 way down. Everything is clean and aligned and the strut is fully seated in the tube. Is it normal/OK for that not to full thread all the way down or is 1/2 the threads engaged OK? Thanks!  |
