Darrell,
I'm removing my nose gear door cylinder in favor of Mishler's mechanical one. If you don't like any of your other options, send me your address and I'll send you my hydraulic parts. They've never been flown, never been used, never been filled with oil (as far as I know.) I bought the kit 2nd hand, after it sat in a garage for nearly 10 years. I'm not looking for payment; just a good home for unused parts.

My Aro-Tek nose gear door cylinder started leaking about a month ago. I called Velocity parts today and they said they can’t get rebuild kits these older style cylinders any more. I took it apart tonight and there are special piston and rod seals in it. I was hoping for just a few o-rings.
I wanted to switch over to the mechanical actuator system but Scott Swing talked me out of it a while back. He said it’s not perfected yet. What are my other options?
Darrell
