Hi all have almost finished re-designing the weight system. Will ost pics tomorrow. The rope that pulls the drum will now trave upwards till its hits the upper crossmember wrap around a wheel feed straight towards the wall turn left out 300mm and finally down. The original height it fell was 1850 now its 2450. Hopefully that will give me 2 days.
I am now trying to source a clamp like the one I designed in the pic.

The biggest challenge will be to try and house or fix a brass shaft into an aluminium body. I coulf make the clamp system out of mild steel but its so much harder to shape. If anyone has spotted a product that is close give us a bell. I have tried mountain bike stems (handlebars or gooosenecks close but not close enough) My hope is to re-engineer an alloy clamp to function like the orange bit in my picture.
Any ideas welcome....
