[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 939200, member: 325666"] Well ..for good or ill ..the QARL is fitted .. Now lets see how long this non drain hole version lasts .. Expect a comment on this in about 12 months. :( Of course I had to tinker a bit didn't I .. I hate the Side Sag of the jack where the sleeve collar rose joint hangs in mid air with no support .. With a heavy actuator over time and as the roseball joint wears and frees up ..sag does indeed occur such that you are do longer driving in a linear direct direction .. This also introduces wear and strain at the other rose where it attaches to the actual dish .. My crude attempt to reduce this effect is thusly .. effectively ...a roughly 3/4 inch thick giant washer in polythene ..which is self lubricating to some degree and introduces minimal friction as the 3 rose joint rivets slide over it .. Here are a couple of pics which explain better I think.. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
