Techshop is open 24 hours now!!! I reserved lathe time at midnight on the first night and turned the plug for the nose wheel strut. Promptly went home and got some sleep and came back to finish installing the nose wheel. The strut was about 1/4" short on the 5" bottom straight... the lower bend was a tad too close and had to relieve the bronze bushing to ease binding, but it works great after that. Greg Westberry has been alerted and has tweeked his jigs to suit.
