Thanks for the comments. You have a good point.
Andy Draper is aware of the possibility of denting the tube and thinks it
will be OK but will do some calculations to check.
My aim is to simplify things for the average builder, particularly with the
PFA. I have picked up the project "as is" and unfortunately lack the time
to do a lot of in depth research.
Yes there are probably better options so can anyone out there offer us some
further advice/research.

Ian & all
Might I suggest some more research into spring availability.
First, springs are available using square section wire, which would be less
aggressive on the gear leg attachment stub, and the LG01. I wonder if 5
years down the line there will be grooves worn in the structure. I would
also much prefer to see some sort of protection to prevent this future
problem.
Danley Spring Co make a huge range of springs, the Long EZ nose gear spring
is a Danley and its square wire. (Compression though, not tension)
