Absolutely nothing, and I'm sorry my posting was unclear.  I had to make my 
sleeves longer on the other side, though.  When fully slid down to the bottom 
of the threads, the cylinder stops were too short by a substantial amount 
(two or three washers worth), resulting in a cylinder that would retract too 
far and lift the wheel up too high in the well (like, into the fuselage 
fillet...).  I temporarily solved the problem by putting washers on the OTHER 
side, which were free to slide along the extended rod since there was nothing 
to capture them.  I didn't want to leave these washers free to slide along an 
extended rod and jam up when the cylinder retracted, so I built a longer 
sleeve.
