I got lucky, after my Diehl nosegear strut collapsed, NVaero was still
around, and the strut Steve supplied
turned out to be slightly thicker and definitely heat treated, of course
it was un-drilled but that was an easy job.
but the original (20 years old?) just bent/collapsed at slow taxi, just
hit a small bump, trashed my prop - but was at idle.
we dialed the crank and it was fine. $1400 for new strut and prop. (lucky)

It just happens that I am rebuilding a wrecked RV-6 that was converted to a
RV-6A (Nosegear) after it was wrecked. I have converted it back to a RV-6
(Taildragger), so have the complete landing gear off from a RV-6A with only a
couple of landings on them (for all practical purposes in New Condition),
including Nosegear, engine mount, and main gear mounts and main gear legs. All
of the landing gear parts are for sale.

Brad, I think the RV-12 series nose gear would be a closer match for KR-size
aircraft. The RV-10 has a 6 cylinder engine. I use a RV-12 spinner on
N133RM.

Yeah, NVaero took their ball and went home. :( Check out the nose gear on
the RV6A and RV10. I bet you could make one of those work. Otherwise I
would look at some 4130 tubing and build your own.
I had been looking at the Nose wheel assembly from NVAero but they appear
to be gone now. Does anyone know of a source for the nose gear assembly
or
a good alternative nose gear setup?
