Bf-109 G6 Spornrad tailwheel
 

Hi gentlemen,

Here's a tailwheel I bought approx. one year ago. The size is 350x135 and it is marked 8-8104 C-2.
I have 2 questions regarding this wheel:

-Is it all complete?

-I know that for the Me-109 G6 the 8-8104 C-4 was most common, but was this 8-8104 C-2 also used on the G6?

Thanks!

Regards,

Vinnie

Hi Vinnie

Yes it does fits all G6 models

Hi Vesa, that sounds good :) Do you think that the wheel is complete?

It misses the dataplate. It should be located as your first pic shown somewhere eight o'clock in the wheel.

Very spot on! I noticed that earlier, but I could not find any marks of a data plate whatsoever. It almost looks like if there never was any. One would expect to see holes to connect the plate to the rim.
But good to know that it is (a) suitable for a G-6 and (b) that the bearings are still complete. :) The tyre is in excellent shape too (a little bit dry, but no real damages).

You can even use it for a wheelbarrow...

Haha, it would not surprise me if it was ever used for that purpose!
