No, but it does not meet my need.

It does center it, but it does not give the 1/2 stud offset I need in the other
direction.
Also:
1) I cannot attach a beam to it and keep in in position.
2) using it as an extension is not an option as it is too wide (2 studs - well
1,5 from center) - and in the end of the car I can only allow one stud. That
means some kind of tiny beam.
