First of all, I get a little feeling of internal (mental) recurrence going on 
when I say, again, thanks for all your help from you folks. Please pardon my 
immense appreciation for the valuable assistance received. Regarding the 
length of my GM1, (for what its worth) the left one is 17 10/16 between the 
two nipples that slide into the GM4 (Front plate) and GM5 (Rear plate). The 
right GM1 one is slightly longer @ 17 11/16. The distance from the inboard 
BL50 to the top corner of the GM4 (Front spar mounting plate) is 2 10/16 - 
slightly more inboard than Marv's 2 7/16 (which would probably give more 
distance between the spars and mounting brackets). The right GM1 looks good 
for parallel tire/GM1 (thank God) but the left one is where the problem 
exists. The spars are narrower slightly on the left side of my fast built - 
already complete spar section, belly pan area, BL50 on my 320. My rusty 
calculations suggest a smidgen, or 1/16 to 3/32 be removed from somewhere to 
make up for a more outboard GM5 position, and tire parallel condition.

Conclusions suggest a machined down GM5 (rear plate) a 1/16. This may bring 
the rear GM5 bearing flush with the rear spar also. Perhaps I could also add 
some bid or aluminum on the aft, aft spar where the GM5 mounts. However, 
there's always more than one way to solve a particular problem. 

Hey Curtis N753K, Perhaps Jerry Grimmonpre'  LNC2 meant he had to rotate the 
aft bearing blocks 360 degrees around the bearing axis (of the GM5 on the 
GM1) as opposed to flip/flopping it. 

Thanks to you all!
