I'm in the process of modifying my nose gear tunnel to allow the gear to actually fit inside (the gear fit, but the gear + the strap + the screws didn't). I've noticed that the gear has to be positioned pretty far to the pilot's side of the plane to clear the hinge when the hinge is facing inboard, as the manual shows.
