Chad,
The mast step on our 30-2 is aluminum, I would imagine that was the standard
from the factory. On mine, I have a good amount of room on the turnbuckles for
the larger rod, but the smaller rod is getting closer. I would think that one
stretches a bit more with the smaller diameter rod. One thing I have noticed
with the rod is that once it gets tight, the tension changes rapidly, a 1/4
turn can move the needle on my Loos gauge, so you might have more adjustment
left than you think.
I struggled with how to adjust my rig until I borrowed the right Loos gauge
from a list member and then bought one when I figured out what a difference it
made. I wish they were cheaper, but there is no real substitute. There was
one on eBay recently, so they do show up there once in a while.

I'll take a look at the mast shoe, I'm not sure what the 30-2 mast step is made
from, but it did seem a lot easier to access the the 30-1 photos I've seen.
