Thanks-Mike O.
Mike, are you using the rubber grommets for the servo screws? If so, scrap those and just go direct screws and washer. I just added washers underneath the servo to get the correct alignment.

Also, what Arms are you using? I went with the MPI's and really had no height issues, other than some canting with a thin washer or two to get the correct angle.
