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

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.
