      I scored an older unit complete with all the rods ...but they are not   
   set correctly . The 1.5-2.5" is off by about .009" short of 1.5 when the   
   thimble is zeroed . Looking into the end that goes into the head I see a   
   setscrew . I think this is used to set the rod length but I want to be   
   sure of procedure before I go reefing on it . The other question I have   
   is about the "extended" setting . The head only has .500 of travel and   
   there are 2 setscrew dimples in the mounting sleeves . When in the   
   "long" dimple it's about .050" short .  I suspect there must have been a   
   .500 sleeve that set the proper length in the long position . Any help   
   will be appreciated !
