The Nose Piece attaches to the Front Support
assembly through the Sliding Panels (Figure 26).
Thick flat round washers are inserted in the mounting
holes of the nose piece to limit compression of the
polyurethane. Two ¾" [20mm] bolts with fender
washers clamp the nose piece and Sliding Panel to
the Front Support on each side. Fasteners use lock
washers or Locktite.
Torque to 200 ft-lbf [270 N-m].
The two part nose pieces overlap across the width of
the system. Adjust to desired profile and align holes.
Using the supplied pop-rivets and washers, rivet two
columns of holes. Rivets should pass through the
Figure 25 Nose Piece (wide)
overlapping nose pieces at the furthest possible
