Hi Group

I was in contact with Nev on this subject and he warned against making the 
tailwheel
spring too "STUCK" to the fuse. He said it's OK to make things a little
stronger, but if yo make things "TOO" strong, instead of bending the bolt (EZ
to replace) you can trash the aft fuse.

You can see my resolution on page #1:

Note: If you replace the recommended factory cable adjusters with turn-buckles,
you can easily defeat that simple solution and shoot yourself in the foot. See
page #2 of above link. If you pull rudder pedals just slightly forward  with
turn-buckles installed, the cable can easily twist and jam that side shorter.
For a Mono especially, that could be a real bad thing. Some shrink wrap can 
easily
fix that potential problem.
