We later swiched to a round tube of 4130.- If you can get some 2inch .095
wall tube you could weld that in.- The airfoit tube requires stiffiners
and though-better looking-was not as strong as the round tube.- |You
cand build a fairing onto the tube with glass and foam.

Sorry to here about the mishape.- Have you found the final cause?

G'Day guys,
---------------------- Recently
swapped out the Subaru engine (158hp ) for a Zero time 195hp Subaru in my
KIS TRI -... Have had over Temp Oil pressure probs ...but was thinking th
e engine was running in ok as Oil Temp were coming down ..
-
However yesterday during another short test flt the Oil Pressure dropped ..
and after an engine surge the engine quit dead ..
-
Landed 50mtr short of the Runway ...Damage is ..one smashed Prop Blade and
one Nose Gear leg ..
-
So LOOKING to ask if anyone can give me a lead to a replacement nose gear L
eg- ..It has the Streamlined steel-leg ... Even a lead onto the Streaml
ined profile steel supply would be great as i could remake the leg if i had
a piece of the Streamlined Steel Stock .
-
Any help would be great

Sorry to hear the damage, but you are OK which is the important thing. Use
the round tube as Rich said and make a fiberglass fairing for it. You can
make the fairing to blend into the nose wheel pant. That is what we did for
my airplane and it looks very good. I posted pics on my website:

Rich, How do you get the shock absorber out of the nose assembly on order to
check it. Mine squeaks a LOT as I taxi and it might need replacement.

It is probably not the shock absorber that you here but the springs themsel
ves..- That absorber should last forever since it is for a car which sees
a little more action than an airplane will ever see.-- If you really n
eed to take it apart just remove the top nut and get the tail down to allow
the threaded area clear the upper bracket.- remove the rubber donut and
pull the upper tube off to expose the springs..- Try greasing the springs
which rub on the tube,- you will see the shock and can move it up and do
wn to see if it is good.
