Make sure that you have the correct left and right hand threads also.
What you don't need to happen is the sleeve to fall out on to the grass in the pits while you're adjusting something.
Not a bad point Jim, but losing parts in the grass never happens; stuff never rolls under the workbench and disappears into a wormhole either.
I bet the Bermuda Triangle is full of 3/8 sockets, brass bushings and those little-bitty coil wire screws...
