Thanks for the detective work -- I'll be sure to check my airplane.

 

There was a somewhat related service bulletin several years ago for the fast-build 320.  The topic was the location of a phenolic hard point at the top of the nose gear tunnel.  The failure mode was different, with the anchor point for the cylinder breaking out.  Unrelated, except that the length and travel of the cylinders is involved in both cases.
