Paul, I don't know a thing about the Pazmany landing gear, but if a
gear leg is inserted in that socket, then it may be that it will have
to be pinned in place by a 5/16" bolt (Tailwind) passing through one
of the collars. The collar can be increased in length to to provide
room for the bolt. The way I do it is to make the socket, insert
the gear leg, then drill through both in the mill having planned in
advance where this bolt should be located so that a wrench can be got
on. Then put the whole assembly in place and weld in the tubes.
All much easier done than said considering the exact angles, trail
and camber that need to be maintained.

Here is what I have. Looks like a hydraulic strut.

Tom, can you take a picture of that nose gear strut for us?

Paul--
Here is the picture of the actual strut, minus axle, etc.. Also included
some more plans for the original (don't recall having sent this
portion), in case you may have had an interest. The steerable nose gear
is moved by cables running over pulleys attached to the bottom strut.
The lower collar is in two pieces, held together by machine screws
through "dog ears", in my nomenclature.
Thanks again for the information and any more that may be
forthcoming--am in the process of working my way through the logistics.

Looks bullet proof. You should have all this in place when you build the
mount. Let me know when you need the dimensions.
Looks like you could land this airplane on the nose gear no problem :)
