Well I am back to confused.  The springs that attach the threaded rod in the rudder to the rod in the wheel hub are 4 inches in length.  The actual gap between the horn brackets that the spring attaches to is less than 2 inches.  I feel like such a dunce.  I just dont see the relationship between the two.  Why would Goldberg give a spring that is more than double the required length? 
The rudder rod is installed "near the bottom of the rudder, 3/4 in back from the hinge line". 
The tailwheel bracket is located "so that the top bend is close to the hinge line". 
This does'nt leave alot of room for interpretation.  Right about here the cursing begins.  For those of you who missed it, this is the Carl Goldberg medium tailwheel assembly.
