(Primarily @ Terry.sc, or someone else who can answer the question)

Hi,

yesterday got it all together. Still I have one question. What have you done with the UM-5 gear shaft? This is a different design from the original Optima shaft with the E4 E-ring on the opposite side from the gear-box. Did you do some special here with some large thin washer between the housing and the E-ring to keep it in place?

From my understanding it is actually not needed as it is kept in place by the middle gear on the other side.

could make sense though only to keep the dirt outside right?

Regards

Peter
