Now a dedicated check nut can be used to check the hydraulic stop. Doing it this way would make adjusting the stop a simple process of loosening the check nut and screwing the stop up the rod, to the cylinder end, when the rod end bolt hole is lined up with the over center link attach point. This would make a previously hit and miss adjustment procedure simple and positive. Comments anyone.
