Don't remember the exact part number but I replaced my nose gear gas
cylinder (the one in the kit gave up the ghost and wouldn't lock the nose
gear down on a drop test) with a Cadillac trunk raiser unit. My then partner
took the old one to the Caddie parts desk and found one that exactly matched
the original - compressed and extended length. It's been working perfectly
for nearly 400 hours. It required a minor change to the lower attach, but
easily done.
