Cardinal 177 RG Nosegear Issue

My nose gear door started out ratty. It was dented, crack and was stopped drilled. Sometime in August 2001 the tab on the collar assembly broke off. I manage to get my hands on a strut from a 77RG being parted out. I then took the opportunity to "fix" the crappy Cessna design by replacing the nose door nylon washer with a rod end. Door will don the zinc chromate green until I redo the cowling.
