Just saw one thing now.
On the outer gearboxhousing is a hole in place , unfortunately not on the inner half of the gearbox.
This hole is in line with one spacer bolt behind....
Drill it thru and you can reach the bolt behind of the spacerblock with the allenkey ;-)
The spacer improvement has been sent by mail .

Happy building,

Uwe :)

Uwe, is there any way you guys can show the details of what parts are involved and what modifications you made?
