Has anyone found an off the shelf source for the 2 parts (collar and the bolt that is threaded on both ends) needed for the "Pulsar Nose Gear Mod"??
Once I have the parts I can find a good welder here or send the nose gear strut and parts to someone who has done this mod before. Is someone willing to do it??
Alternatively, does someone have an improved SkyStar or newer nose gear strut for sale?

Hi John
The two parts were machined. If you follow this route, then best to have at least one extra part number PC02-04 made. This just in case you have a problem (as mentioned by Cy in another thread). However, the UK Pulsar operator that has this improvement, has not advised of any failure.

Alan and all- the "Pulsar Nose Gear Mod" drawing that you sent me below shows 2 part numbers, P.C.01-04 is the collar and P.C.02-04 is the bolt that is threaded on both ends. Where can I buy these 2 parts?

We have had a few in the the UK (and a known one in France) having the same breakage. All up inside the strut collar. Attached diagrams are what we do/recommend.

Pulsar XP nose wheel and fork FELL COMPLETELY OFF while pulling plane out of hangar. Yes… really…today.
Very lucky was not taking off or landing when this happened. It just nosed over while I was pulling Pulsar out of hangar. The vertical pivot bolt that holds on the nose wheel fork broke raggedly up inside the nose strut collar. That nose fork assembly with the bolt welded into it came from Aero-Design in my December 1994 kit. My Pulsar has been flying over 12 years and never had any nose landings and always landed on pavement.
Looking at old paper files I found an email from John Hudson saying that the weak point of the Aero-Design nose fork assembly may be under that collar. The collar is the wider area that the Belleville washer rubs against. And that the heat treating may not have fully penetrated on every nose fork weld. Do you think I can just get that pivot bolt welded back inside the nose fork collar? Nothing else broke (as if that is not enuf). What would you do??
