Depending on the gap, find some hard rubber or similar material and place in
front of the captivator, the gap will fill and it will eliminate the
problem.   I used a piece from an old tire and it has worked great for the
last 18 months.

Well, I got the new nose gear installed with the upgraded bumper. I weighed
down the nose with 120 lbs, then used my ratchet tie down and scrunched it
down even further. Put in the captivator plate.. no problem. 

 

Once I let the weight off, the captivator plate doesn't even touch the nose
gear. It is not tight at all. Great. Something else I have to re-design. 

 

Back to work (real work) to rest & ponder.
