I have a Maule SFSA solid tire tailwheel and had to replace the o-lite bushing due to wear. I also ordered a new cap since ours departed the aircraft at some point. I have the 7/8" diameter fork, which the Maule and Aircraft Spruce diagrams show as the "new" design. However, the "new" dust cap TW-63A is much too large. The lock ring measures 1.125" diameter (and has the two dowel pins) and the old-style cap (TW-18) says it's 1.25". I'm not sure that will fit. Is it possible that parts were mixed and matched on my tailwheel assembly? Is the 1.25" cap correct? Other options?

Thank you,
Jeremy
