Hi all,

Any tips for adjusting an 80 endlink that doesn’t sit flush with the case? I.e. the top of the endlink is rubbing against the case and causing wear to the serial number.

Cheers,
Frank

Often the problem is a worn tube or the wrong size spring bar.

To move (rotate) the top of the link closer you slightly bend the endlink batwings on the backside.

Flexible end links so adjustment is a matter of unfolding and refolding the opening once the spring bar has been checked.
