That is correct. I received the same (I assume) drawing etc. from Tim this
summer, and ordered the pair from Alcomex in Holland. They were very nice
to deal with, and I have now fitted the springs.
I developed further Tim's recommended method of fitting them - it turned out
to be much easier than I first feared might be the case because of the
substantial spring force. If anyone elects to go this same route, let me
know and I will post my method here on the forum.
I also received from Tim a copy of a letter from EMIL sent to a Ducth
builder, which although not constituting a formal approval, perhaps,
definitely gave me the confidence to implement this mod. By the way, keep
the safety wire even if you fit the stainless steel springs- it may still
serve its mission in a really hard nose wheel landing.
