Reading the discussion of the nose gear gas springs I only see one mention
of a dual arrangement.  Seemed like a natural to me so I employed 2  60lb
force gas springs with rod end bearings (shortened the shank of the
bearings) to provide an even force on both sides of the O/C mechanism.  The
bearings really make extension and retraction smooth with no binding. Not sure which brand gas springs I used (I'm at work) but I found a plethora
on the internet. -Ed Sikora   LC235 (someday)
