Default Nylon steering block question

I am finishing a SIG Kadet ARF. We have bought a fults gear which is a 5/32 wire. The factory steering block is much smaller and also the holes have been pre-drilled in the firewall with blind nuts installed for the factory block. Is there a adjustable steering block that will accomodate the 5/32 wire? The outside to outside dimensions on the factory block mounting holes is 15/16" and up to down is 3/4". I drilled the factory block but I got a little off center. "Its Junk"!

Thanks,

Perry

Order a new nose wheel mount from Sig and be nore careful when you drill it out. If you don't have a drill press and a drill press vise find a friend with one. I've used Fults nose gear on three Kadets but none of them were ARF. Good gear if you put the nosewheel on the ground first by mistake. I found from the first that the little screws that hold the axle in can come out and give you some excitement when the axle falls out of one side. I soldered mine in place after the first time it happened to me.
