Bill, Angier, Chris, and all--

While installing my new Matco brake assembly on the left wheel today, I 
fiddled with the hydraulic cylinder rigging. I cut about 1/4" off the 
threaded shaft, and was _barely_ able to screw the rod end in far enough 
to obtain the "down stop" that you guys recommend. Unfortunately, the 
aluminum spool piece which I had previously shortened, no longer 
provides an "up stop". I immediately called Michelle at Lancair and 
thankfully she still has them in stock (either .93 long or 1.25 long). 
So it appears that I _will _be able to achieve hard stops both retracted 
and extended - on the left gear anyway...

Thanks for all the helpful advice on this. I feel so foolish for not 
knowing this needed to be done --John
