Thanks for the pictures Larry, some great detail in there. Yes, I do have the bend in the vertical plane to drop the rod lower down. My concern was with the horizontal plane - after the bend shown in your pictures, my prop rod is dead straight in all planes. This means that where it passes the alternator it sits away from the aluminium panelling of the inner wing and therefore restricts sideways movement of the alternator, limiting adjustment. Should there be a lateral bend anywhere, most likely level with the alternator?
