Another factory suggestion for a fix has worked out but leaves my sense of
symmetry cold.  In a previous posting I told of uneven gear (in the well)
where the right tire touches the elevator PP tunnel and the left gear is
closer to the fuselage sidewall.  The suggestion there was to use the
spacers between the Cleveland axle and the foot in an unsymmetrical fashon
to gain proper clearances.  I had a 3/8" spacer on each axle and after
messing around they are now both on the right gear.  This brings the wheels
to a more even position in the well, though not peferctly centered.  Mark is
ordering me new bolts to make this all work.  I suppose this is sound
modification but only wish there was another "factory fix" which would
address the symmetry issue.  I realize this is a homebuilt, but to an old
A&P it just seems strange to do this in a $350,000 airplane.
