I packed up my old nose gear leg and sent it in to Van's for match drilling of my new leg. I already have the new fork and wheel pant brackets and will be working on those items during the turn around.
Removing the leg was easier than I feared. I have two wing jacks, so getting the plane up high enough to clear the leg was easy.
The crate I made was 12" by 48" made from 1/4" plywood and 1 X 3" pine furring. I could have made the crate smaller but I was too lazy to do too much cutting. 10 x43" would have sufficed. It was lined with foam and assembled with dry wall screws.
Here are some pics. Anyone needing a shot of how I did something under the cowl should let me know now before I close things up in a few weeks.
