Thank you for your replies and words of encouragement. We know that the actual tires for the Sea Venom are much larger in diameter than a Vampire. What we don’t know is if the wheels themselves are the same size or similar. We plan on taking a Vampire nose wheel assembly when we go back to the Sea Venom, hopefully in a month and a half or so, to see if it will work. If it doesn’t hopefully we can find a solution so we can make her airworthy.

Here is a photo of the actual nose wheel of our aircraft. I wish I had a Vampire wheel to show the comparison.

Also, if you know of anybody that may have parts for a Sea Venom please let me know. We are looking for a ladder and jury struts.

Here is a photo of our aircraft, enjoy!
