That way the stop will bottom out on the outboard end of the cylinder and allow you some additional adjustment for once you cycle the gear under power. Remember, the initial settings of the stops (when you're operating everything manually) will only be close at best, as when you have full system presure to operate the cylinder you'll find that their ultimate stopped positions will be a bit different. You need to allow for that difference while building. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
