Subject: Re: LNC2 Hydraulics

For all you hydraulic wizards out there, I have a problem with my  
nosegear cylinder. I need to shorten its fully extended length. Why??  
Well, way back in my youth when I started this project, I followed  
the manual religiously...mistake. In order to remove all pressure  
from the overcenter link when in the down position, I need to do one  
of two things. 1. move the upper cylinder attach point brackets aft. 
(can't do this due to the position of the phenolic block at the top  
of  the tunnel. 2. Make new brackets using the old holes through the  
tunnel and positioning the cylinder attach point further aft on the  
brackets. 3. Take apart the cylinder and insert an internal stop on  
the shaft inside the cylinder. Making new brackets is probably the  
simplest solution but is #3 a reasonable alternative?

Thanks for your help.
