It would be helpful if there was a method to adjust the hydraulic
system so the nose gear is not pushing the door open. I have a
continuing scrape mark on the side of the lock plate on the fork from the
nut plate of the door. (I know, I know, remove the nut plate)

>>>I forgot about the rod volume. Luckily, that is a
benefit for emergency gear extension (assuming fluid from the reservoir is not
also blocked) since the reservoir could supply the extra fluid for the non-rod
side. Interestingly, this helps explain why the nose sometimes
pushes the nose gear door out of the way on a gear down operation - the
high immediate demand for fluid on the gas actuated nose gear (along with the
mains) may not allow the nose door to open fast enough because of fluid
deprivation to the door
actuator.<<<
