The round part of the lower end fitting was rubbing against the head of the lower nose gear cylinder attach bolt. I fixed that problem by adding another spacing washer on the lower gas spring attach bolt, moving the bottom of the unit further away from centerline. You could also provide the necessary clearance by filing a flat spot on that side of the end fitting. With 120# of force, the nose gear snaps quickly into locked position on ground test. Tomorrow, I will fly and try a free fall test at about 120 MPH. I predict success. Bob
