Beep beep and beep beep yeah!!
Congrats,

Thanks Bob. My wife said 'you got it working 'toot sweet'. One might have to be from up here in Canuck land with our omnipresent (and oft-much-maligned) french influence to apprecite that one but she made her point nonetheless! LOL Chris.

My paternal grandfather's side was from the Quebec area so I got the pun immediately in spite not speaking French but the fact that my entire family is filled with punsters it was no stretch! I listen to a lot of or French singers so have also picked up words and phrases and that was one I knew.

Anyway, good job and just it goes to show that patience is a virtue. For me, the best way to get me to do something is to tell me it can't be done although recently I spent considerable time looking for a specific type and length of bolt and was never able to find it unless I wanted to buy a thousand of them so I had to eventually settle for one an 1/4" longer.

Thanks Don.... and yes, that virtue: patience - I wish I had more of it! Not being able to find a solution and move forward on anything absolutely drives me, but I also have fortified stick-to-it-ive-ness and will not give up. I eventually get there, sometimes with a lot of blue air!
Fred Bruner, of Max Marritt fame, who was so helpful with the parts pic said 'yes, go ahead and share it' - so here it is. Chris.

Also came by this drawing for the standard wheel innards if anyone is needing reference on that. (Don, looks like this is where the little can and spring that you have would be used) Chris

Yes, that’s right. I knew the can and finger piece I have didn’t come from a banjo wheel (it was still on the car when I sold it) but I did not expect the banjo type to be so different! It would be great if these could be added to the literature section of the site where they can be easily found.
