First big prob was. As I am a messy painter I had to clean out all my wheals done on the piller drill.
Next thing I had was that the pins did not fit at all in the cogs .I do not know if any one had this prob.
But it now is all ok. A trip to STW Towers Cimg2653

Hugh

You have got the spring on according to the instructions

I put it on the other side though, this allowed me to put the bolts through from the outside, which looks better, and the spring then locks onto the thread that protrudes and trapped by the washer and nut that I did not do up very tight and crushed the thread at the end to stop it unwinding.

But, if it works then I can't see it will make any difference
