Brent,
Not sure on the strut. I have the centering one and it has been working flawlessly. 

2 other issues you may want to consider.

My 235 with an IO320 and a light 37 LB CS propeller required the large tail and and a 23 lb battery also in the tail to make the CG come out.I moved EVERYTHING aft in addition. Even then it is still on the forward limits.
I don't think you will be able to make the CG work with that combo unless you add substantial tail weight. Another issue is the short 235 strut. This strut will not allow you the ground clearance to run a propeller made for the 360.

FWIW...

I am asking for information concerning the pnuematic oleo nose strut for a Lancair 235.  I have been looking for a strut to convert my 235 from the stiff dog leg style to the pneumatic one.  I am confused as to which ones are the correct one.  I understand some have poor centering capability(early model) and some are from various manufacturers.  I am sure some of you have seen the one for sale on Ebay.  Is the one of the good ones or one to stay away from.  I have the same question about the front nose fork also.  I intend to run an IO360 with c/prop if this has any bearing as to the weight.  If any one has any information about this please let me know.  I would like to obtain the right one the first time.  Thanks!  Brent
