Friend of mine has a Cardinal RG and he is having a problem with the
little magnet and switch dealie on the nose gear. Does anyone know if
there is an aftermarket replacement switch and/or magnet? The switch is
about $180 and that magnet is about $380. Or if not is there a cheaper
place to buy these parts new?

I don't know the answer to your question, but I do know that
the Cardinal Owners Group has a very active mailing list
where someone will supply the answer for "all things Cardinal"
I lurked for a while when we were considering buying a Cardinal.

Does your friend belong and has he truly come up goose-egg there?
If he doesn't, google search for the beast and suggest that he
join.

Best,
