Those collars slip into the black plastic shifter pieces. They help strengthen up that area so you can tighten down the LH thread nuts nice and tight without breaking or warping the plastic. So put it on the other side of the washer, and make it disappear inside the hole.Looks like the hardware supplied doesn’t have enough left hand thread nuts, so you’re supposed to use these small collars which butt up against the flats in the middle of the turnbuckle rod.

I have my bellcrank pieces facing the same direction because the rods then line up perfectly in the shifter plastic. I know some people are cutting off the front of the shifter assembly. Should I follow suit or leave them like this?
