The "Builders Manual Part 3" online in the forum has a drawing for the front fork and mains on page 5.

Since I'd like to make a nose gear for mine (and also new main gear, since they are different for a nose gear configuration), depending on where you are at I'd be happy to help get the measurements and maybe make some drawings.
I'm in central illinois, but travel for business a lot, so wherever you are may work at some point.

Only advice I can give is to remove yours and fix or make a duplicate, unless someone has one for sale.
ChrisB bought a RANS Tundra fork and made his.
I've got a fork and pivot shaft for a Cessna 172, and a complete Piper TriPacer setup, and no idea of how close it would be to yours.
Thanks for the info on the cover.

The cover is a "stock" "lightweight" (5 lbs) cover from Bruce's Covers for the Avid.
I need the nose gear because the one on the Avid was bent while towing it through some grass that had a deep rut from a mower.

It looks just like my Bruce's Custom Cover I have for my Kitfox.

They have them listed under Avid and SkyStar (for Kitfox).

Those multiple grass strips look like an international airport just waiting for concrete.

Guess I should have asked the owner about the cover on the yellow Avid - wanted to know if it was commercial or homemade.

Jim,
Is that a custom cover on the yellow Avid, or does someone sell them?

I didn't realize you were showing a picture of your plane. Thought it was just a picture of an Avid to illustrate what you were talking about. Jim Chuk

I see the photo of a normal-looking Yellow nose-dragger - Why do you need to replace the nose gear if it works fine? These nose gears are fairly scarce. Just trying to help.

Perhaps the picture didn't come through on the post. I may need to replace the nose gear on the Avid - the gear worked fine and I would like to replace it with the same gear if either one is available someplace or someone has the original plans to build one from

Boat,
There has to be more to the story? Did your plane have one? What happened?
ChrisB is the one with most experience. I sent sketches of the spring-loaded attachment to Steve N166???, I think -
Chris had one on his old plane, and now has a custom-built on his new plane. I have one. They are no longer made.
For the stock Avid, I donno. I have parts and plans for two different custom ones for my Foxy, but wont fit yours.
EDMO
Do you have the mains set for nose gear?
Amienoel put one on her plane.

If you don't have the nose gear tube welded in, you might consider this nose gear. It is the later Kitfox style nose gear. It was mounted on an Avid MK IV. I never flew with it, it came with my last MK IV that was set up as a taildragger when I got it. Jim Chuk

Luke,
200% agreement - Do your own thing - Don't let others distract you - It's your plane and your call.
Keep it FUN!
