My Auster had a steerable tailwheel at one stage as it has the bracket on the rudder post. It had a new spring fitted about two years ago so may have lost it then.
The Maule unit is about £210 for the wheel and £220 for the mount (or vica-versa). Throw in another £18 for the 'latest' anti-shimmy springs. So a few quid cheaper and certainly cheaper than the Scott type.
I was down at Ron's place a couple of weeks ago, he remembered working on my Auster in 1964! It was owned then by Lord Trefgarne , who was mate 's with Charles Masefield the son of Peter Masefield who was the MD at Austers.
There was a very nice J/1 in the hangar which, might be for sale and a Mk1 Auster which will be nice when finished!
