On the 1st Arresti, I'm running the plywood plate/Davis "well-nut" mount, and the nose doesn't wobble enough to make me notice. Probably too stiff, but that's what is on it. On THIS Arresti, I've installed one of my rotational mounts, and in test runs yesterday it looked like it may NOT need a nose ring.

But - if I do, I wanted to have a plan to do it. Not enough side room for the alum tees, but that's a good idea. Some have suggested a spruce longeron-based "tripod" or "tetrapod" terminating in a ply plate that the actual nose ring then mounts onto. Sounds reasonable, just don't know yet.
