68 t-bars

[dardal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

This distance sounds a bit too low, but I may be wrong.  I think you may be able
to wind up the T-bars a bit more by removing the rear cross member anchor
point.  Then, by moving the suspension by hand, try to re-anchor the hex at the
next flat.  I will try to look at my FSM and see if its possible to remove the
rear cross member without removing the T-bar from the front anchor point...
