Hi AVB,

I haven't checked the engagement lever nor the Z bend as it seems virtually impossible to get at without drastic surgery to the body cowling. Do you know of a way to get at it?

Yes the engagement mount is bolted and has a spare hole. I'll try moving that back before drilling a new hole for the spring.

Thanks for the advice over using a black belt to test first and then upgrade to a Kelvar.
