Rick,

Marv's right about screwing the rod end further onto the piston rod.
However, it took a combination of shortening the piston rod, screwing the
rod end on further and reversing the bracket that's bolted onto the hard
point to give us the length required to adequately shorten the length of the
down stroke. There was enough thread on the piston rod to allow us to do
that but be sure that when you screw the rod end back on that the hole
therein is covered with the rod's thread. Check out that top bracket first
though. If it's not of equilateral dimension and the end of the bracket that
the hole favours is placed towards the aft of the aircraft as the manual
shows, try turning it around, that will give you and extra ¼".

Regards

Michael G-PJMT
