That lower bend in the rod looks pretty extreme. I twisted my horn a little for alignment. Also I agree with Wes. I made cup shaped washers for clearance.

Edit: you can find my picture here:

> Waiex-B mixer and rudder install - stop not being hit Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2022 10:15 pm by sjakulski So, after installing the Waiex mixer and cabling up the rudder I find there is not enough throw in the mixer to allow the rudder to hit the rudder stops. My rudder deflection is about an 1/8 inch shy of hitting the rudder stop on each side. Anyone else experience that?

Plus my description of how to make the cupped washer.
