Joe:
I followed Pat Panzera's lead and made an aluminum spacer similar to the
steel one in front of the eccentric. The eccentric is very close to
3/16" thick, and I made mine from a piece of 6061 T6 that I had on
hand. As Pat points out, we don't know if anyone has flown with this
mod, so you do it at your own risk.
