Troy,
Sorry for having been confusing to you; let me try to clarify what I
meant.
The Singleton steering horn has a total of 4 holes; one in each horn
for the cables, and 2 which are used to mount the steering horn on the
tail wheel mount.
If you draw a centerline between the two cable attachment holes which
are 4" apart and a second centerline between the two mounting holes,
there will be a measurable distance between the 2 centerlines.
What William was saying was that, whereas he was recommending that the
4" distance between the 2 cable attachment holes be increased to 6",
that measurable distance between the 2 centerlines should remain the
same. Thus when William said "spread" the horns, he was suggesting
that the angle between the horrn on the right and the horn on the left
would increase...rather than achieving the 6" distance by merely
elongating the respective horns.
I hope this clarified my previous post.
Fred
