COMMENTS: Per Robart, the bushings belong in the housing where the air cylinder
            was placed.  They say it off-sets a tendency of "binding" the gear
            legs.
          There is now a gentleman who is making longer struts for this kit,
            which will work with a 4" wheel for a more scale appearance.
