Remembering the Cessna 210 nose landing gear(& mains) actuator system is same part numbers as our R182s, that is down lock pins/roll pins, hooks, actuator rod & bearing end are the same parts - this beautiful Vitatoe P210's NLG collapse(Nov2024) could have been one of R182s as well.

A great example of saving the cost of performing SEB95-20($1500-$2000+/-) cost someone their $600K+ airplane. Especially heartbreaking since the Vitatoe conversion makes the P210 an extraordinary airplane.
Closeup inspection of the left side down lock hook confirms the issue. See markups below.
