Subject: Re: Nose Gear Rust

Mike,

Take a look at "SB043 Nose struts". You can find it at:

      http://www.lancair-kits.com/service_bulletins.html

For everyone else, look at SB055.

      http://www.lancair-kits.com/service_bulletins/SB055.pdf

SB055, although it doesn't appear to at first, applies to the 360 and  
tells of the bottom falling off of the nose gear, if, and when, it  
cracks. I had my nose gear exchanged in about 1999 and I still have  
the old one that may crack.
