    You guys are making an mountain out of an ant hill. There is no need to spend anymore more than 2.50$ at your local hardware store. Just replace the eyebolt for the appropriate length. Get a long one so you can adjust on your own after you've measured the length increase then go out and test it.

    Go out on a chilled rainy day and start brake testing on black top. That'll get it way closer than you'd ever need.

    Edit: I'll go take a picture of mine. It's worked just fine.
