Here's what the new fitting looks like. Seems like it's a hair taller than the brass but looks way more durable.
Checking clearances later this eve.

Not hitting, but it's close enough to rub and is rubbing. I think the steel seems way more robust and the fitting is fully threaded in. The raised edge that's rubbing will likely wear and eliminate the prob. However not ideal.

What if you flip it over RESI up
I'll take a look, the knob might hit the track but I need to check.

That tag says to call. I'd call them.
Already emailed them pics and basically same info I had posted here. That was the first thing I did.
They told me that everyone they did this for seems to be ok, they hadn't heard back that there was an issue.

X2 call them. They are great guys to deal with and should be able to deal with any concerns you have. Besides we are getting hammered with snow now in NH so don't want any issues now to prevent riding!!

Yes, trust me first thing Monday I will be calling.
In the meantime I am exchanging emails this morning with. Didn't think I'd get a response till Monday but they replied already this morning. More to follow......
UPDATE
50 miles today, no real big bumps, but some bumps. No issues. Hygear confirmed flipping the shock WILL cause the resi to hit the track so that is not a solution.
Defrosting it now and will check for rubbing.

Did another 150 miles with all the new snow I haven't been able to let it thaw and check it out. Hit some big bumps tonight so it it was going to hit I'll see it when it thaws. Forgot to call hygear today.
