Before I break somthing expensive, and look real stupid doing it, I need to make a adjustment to my steering set-up.
Does anybody know how to limit the stroke of a 2"x8"x1" hyd.cyl. to about 4" total stroke? it needs to be around the approximate center of the original stroke. I'm sure I can find a piece of tubing/pipe or something I can fit over the rod between the piston and the end cap of the cylinder (to limit extension), but I need ideas on what to do at the closed end (to limit retraction)...can I just throw a piece of 1.25-1.50" tubing of the correct length in the cylinder (as a stop) before I put the piston/rod assy. in? is there a typical way hydraulic techs do this?...
ps.
I need to have this done today or tomorrow, so I probably won't have time to order something special..
