Syd, I think the cable was installed on Forneys......as a result of the installation of the double fork gear. The gear is longer than the single fork; therefore the position of the wheel is supposedly in the same postion as the single fork gear with the strut fully extended.... If this is so, then removing the cable on D models , with double forks ( Forney forks)---where
you cannot raise the nose fully on landing puts you in the poosition of potentially bending the mounts because the nose wheel is lower than normal, and likely to scrubb on a crosswind landing... True ? I don't know, but I plan on keeping mine on..even if it requires a 337...I think it makes sense, especially if you have limeted elevator travel of 9 degrees..... Harry
