Would fabricating new brackets solve the problem?  You can make the holes
line up where they belong, just move the pivot point.  If you can get the
clearance for the hydraulic cylinder while maintaining enough strength to
resist bending when the nose gear retracts, it's a  lot easier than
repositioning the phenolic block.

George's metal strap idea sounds like a good one.  Since I have to rebuild
my entire nose gear tunnel, I'm going to incorporate that one.  The LML
comes through again!
