A lot of nose wheel pants get cracked or broken on 10's. A good fix is to make sure there is enough tire clearance (for squashed nose wheels on nose wheel landing--I would recommend 5/8--3/4 inch clearance), then repair with a couple layers of fiberglass and a molded piece of .025" or .032" aluminum to fit the inside of the nose fairing. Shape the aluminum first cutting out the tire opening. Drill your rivet holes and counter sink. Then after applying the fiberglass with it still wet, rivet the molded aluminum over it. Make sure you get the aluminum attached to the vertical wall in the fairing so it has some real support.
