Brian, The Diehl main gear set can be used either for conventional gear or nose gear installation by crossing diagonally on the main spar. And if you are careful where you drill the holes in the brackets and spar, you can interchangeably convert from conventional to tri-gear and back without drilling extra holes in the spar.

I also have a set of Diehl gear for sale. The set consists of the upper casting, the gear leg, the lower brackets, and the bolt kit. As when you buy the set from Dan, it does not include the axles. The legs are already glassed and hae the straw for the brake line already done. The glass work is very good and will require very little finishing. The set is for a tail dragger, but I think they are the same as for a nose wheel, just mounted on the other side of the spar. Not 100% sure on this, but someone on the list should know. The legs are not drilled yet and the holes to mount the leg to the upper casting are not drilled in the casting yet, so there is no worry that there is any misalignment on this set. Dan sells the set for $525 plus $15 for shipping. I will sell them for $500 with shipping in the U.S. included. The work that is done will save about three hours. I am selling the gear because I have ordered new leg blanks that will not rake as far forward and I am welding up new brackets for more prop clearance. I also have the forward spar to sell. The spar is drilled to match this gear set. I am fairly sure I can get the center section spar off the plane without damage, but I am not sure on this yet.
