Bill,
 
From discussions among the ES builders, it's a good idea to keep the wheel pant light.  Of course the ES is a much heavier aircraft, but the nosewheel is susceptible to shimmy.  And since the IVs have the same strut and don't appear to have the shimmy problems, we have concluded that the ES shimmy is due to the mass of the wheel pant.  I would grind out any unnecessary bulk and reduce the overall weight.
