Thanks David, thats something, also I had the rod adjusted at 79mm which I thought was its shortest length!
After removing the cylinder I found some more adjustment to go to 73.9mm
will fit tomorrow, and cut the rods extra unwanted threads,
JFB thanks for the rod length post again, your reasoning is logical, but I am a simple soul and still find "pressure beyond" difficult to understand in Hydraulics!
best Pete.
