Brief Description:  Nose strut fettling - hardware retention

Adjusted the gaps around the nose strut fairing, the surrounding skin and the doors. Looked hard and long at the doors, as research and conversation has revealed they don't actually do anything performance wise, but Marc Z indicates they may at least reduce drafts. Decide i'm keeping them for the moment.

Have followed the discussion about a retaining bolt for MKNG-3 and MKNG-15A, required to help retain it in all circumstances. Have never wanted a hole the size of a bolt through the nose strut, so I have hesitated. Now bite the bullet and drill 2 x 4mm holes through each part and fit 4mm roll pins through each. Retained
