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
If I remember
correctly, a highly speculative concept considering it’s
been a couple of decades, I cut a little bit of thread off
of my rods to be able to adjust the rod end for the down
stop as Scott described. Then, as you deduced, play with the
spools and washers to adjust the up stop.
