Hi Phil,
Yes, the nose strut is available. I'm looking on Ebay and seeing them with a $500 buy it now price, how does $350 sound? Or, I include the axle, wheel, and new tire for $500?
I uploaded a photo of the nose gear already, you can see that one of the steering arms broke off, but I don't see any other damage, it looks like the motor mount took it all. The last annual says "Rebushed NLG scissors and shimmed...Replaced NLG tire and tube...Replaced both NLG wheel grease felts and both races and bearings".
I sent you a private email too.
Richard
