[ThreeQuarter]

I don’t have the old gear to compare, unfortunately. I could do away with the brake hanger nub and move the housing up to meet the wheel, but then I’d run into the two nubs on the housing that engage the firewall bracket. There is some room before I run into those, maybe it will be enough. From what I’ve seen, I’ll need to get the wheel snug against the column because that’s what keeps the upper bearing in place. I can’t just tolerate looking at a bigger gap because that will give the bearing too much freedom and my horn might not contact.

Still interested in thoughts on whether I should move the housing up or maybe go through the trouble of shortening the shaft?
