How to hook up this tailwheel?
I've got this no-name tailwheel and I don't know how to hook it up. I was thinking the spring attached to the rod on the back of the tailwheel and then gets anchored to the bottom side of the rudder, but I don't know where the plastic clevis goes. The pic is a little blurry.

The spring is what steers the tail wheel from the rudder, the clevis is attaches the spring to the rudder. the pin with the hole is where the spring fastens to the tailwheel and also adjusts the possition of the wheel. use mild tension on the spring and the assembly will follow the rudder with no damage to rudder and hinges.
