Thanks to the responses of the group we have managed to disassemble the nosegear strut on my Forney. As we looked over the parts and compared to the Skyport Supplemented Parts catalogue it was apparent that several items were NOT present in my aircraft. Specifically the upper bushing, the inside tube and the spacer tube. My question is: Since the third generation lower bushing is somewhat longer than the earlier versions is there any possibility that these parts have been eliminated as un-necessary? I was also intrigued to note that the lower bushing was glued in rather than secured with the requisite screws. Amazing what one can find when you look close enough.
