oh... DUH.... Chris... you have it assembled incorrectly. The threaded cad holder goes ON TOP of the aluminum Coleman piece. The Coleman piece floats freely beneath it. Take the cad plated piece and tighten it down against the shaft. If you dont like that method you can use the cad washer that Howard is talking about to sandwhich the two.

B - actually I did try that and the clearances were better, but I was thinking there was NO way the alloy Coleman hat would just "float" there? The stock spring hat goes over the cad washer instead of sitting "loose" on top of the spring.

Well, now I have about 3 weeks to dick around with it before the next event. 12/3 is probably the next time I'll go out.

The hat floats there. When you load the car (let it off the jack stands) it will go up and sit against the threaded cad piece.

Dont worry about it. I lost a few nights sleep 5-6 years ago... and have done it this way ever since.

I wish I had a pick of one of our "floaters". It seriously doesnt harm anything.
