REFLECTOR: Nose gear gas strut - resolved

I picked up a gas strut at Pep Boys. Working range fit the 7-8" that was
required and was rated at 63lbs. The difference between the new one and old
one was huge. I guess the bathroom scale really isn't the tool to measure
them. :-) If I had to guess, I'd say that the original was only putting out
about 30lbs.

Nose gear now goes over-center reliably every time.

I'm not nuts about the ball joint connection. Seems solid enough but I just
can't tell that it's really on.

Thanks for the help everyone!
