I am still building, but have installed the "Nose Job" on my 7A. It does not contact the leg on either end and allows the gear to act as a spring and flex unless the gear were to start to curl aft with a fair amount of force. There is about .250 beneath the "C" shaped bracket at the top and slightly less at the bottom, but still a gap. I am sure if there is significant fore/aft motion during taxing and takeoff/landing it will kiss the gear leg but I am not sure how much is transferred up to the engine mount without a considerable oscillation
