Peter, it seems to me if I recall correctly that I set the nose gear 
cylinder by setting the aft end first.  In other words I retracted 
the cylinder with the rod end halfway on the threads and then set its 
position onto the brackets with the nose gear retracted.  I also had 
a small piece of dense rubber on the weldment to cushion any over 
retraction.   By having the rod end in the middle you can fine tune 
the retract position when everything is set up.   I did not use the 
upstop sleeve on the nose gear.  I wouldn't have used it on the main 
gear if I had known ahead of time.   As I remember when set up this 
way; the brackets ended up right in the middle of the phenolic 
blocks.  When the hydraulic cylinder extends it will be pushing on 
the knee joint which is very strong.  At least it worked for me...
