Calfee eccentric doesn't slide.

In fact it is "only" about 7.5mm of spacers. Thought I was working with 1, 2, and 5mm spacers, measuring the assembled bits realizing they are maybe 0.5, 1, and 3mm spacers. Can't get a direct shot at gaps with vernier, but it is close to 2mm of spacers in the rear, and 7.5mm in the front. The front does feel pretty solid, I have shortish (maybe 5mm) ti bolts into long stainless nuts, and have some longer steel bolts I could also use. Pics attached, FYI.

But 7.5mm is still a lot, so I will see if Craig has any thoughts on a better approach. In the meantime, if others have ideas I am all ears.
