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.
