Bummer.
What exactly failed? Is this the tube spacer that is
between the bearing blocks on the engine mount? Did it and
the AN4 bolt bend or break? Any pix?

My 1990
235/340 (1987 kit 173) had the left upper tube to the left nose gear pivot
block fail yesterday resulting in a nose gear up landing. I believe the tube
failure occurred after I made a sharp turn to runway line up. It retracted but
the nose gear up light did not illuminate. It would not extend since it
twisted and jammed in the tunnel. I have not had any trouble with shimmy. The
aircraft has about 1,000 hours.
