REFLECTOR: Nose door cylinder repair kit

[Tom Martino]

I only have one photo posted.  This one: 

http://www.tvbf.org/gallery/?display=builder_options%2FNose%20gear%20doo
rs-manual%20system%2FRaw%20184.jpg

The other two photos were earlier attempts by someone else.  It was very
good but way more components than really needed.

Thanks

Tom

Your mechanical nose door solution is nothing short of brilliant!

I've spent quite a bit of time researching why the factory system  
doesn't work as intended, and correcting its problem by relocating  
the sequence valve. But your mechanical solution is WAY better. It's  
simple and elegant. And it looks like it belongs there. Good work.

I assume picture #3 was an earlier attempt?
