    Radius Rods again

    If you need more adjustment on the clevis that is turned all the way in, you might try trimming the end of the tube. It's been my experience that changing one adjustment leads to other changes. IMO, The proper fix would be to cut the bracket from the housing and move it to where it needs to be...
