Next up was mounting the tailwheel assembly to the spring assembly.
This step also required securing the aft spring stack between the attach bracket alongside the aft spacers. This is the Sportsman style aft spring attach bracket and is really only used to keep the rear spring assembly aligned with the fuselage and from settling down when unloaded. The bracket attaches with 2x long bolts through an interior bracket with 2x kept lock nuts. This bracket gets embedded in flox for a secure fit after the interior fuselage mounting area is flattened to support the bracket.
Next the tailwheel needed to be aligned with "true centerline" which in .20" east of the physical centerline (not sure why, but that's what the instructions said). In my case, a very slight shaving of the tailwheel spacer got is exactly plumb and straight.
I torgue'd all nuts with my fancy new ft-lb torque wrench since my inch-lb version wasn't rated for these values.
