If it is essential to have the cut out i can get it machined for you.
No doubt it could be useful to others.
Just let me know oh and I am in Slough
Thanks the cutout is essential as a 12mm allen key works in conjunction with the 30mm socket if you could machine this please let me know there is no hurry as ive still to a get replacement bevelbox

they are on e bay at 12 quid ,,, bargain ,
i bought a snap on socket and machined it , jus cos its nicer in my box.
if you use a marker you can get away without the socket , by marking the adjuster and the frame , but for twelve quid , just buy a cheapie ,,,
ill lend you mine if it helps , but the post would be more than e bay price , hth

Seems odd that the lock nut should require the use of a torque wrench when the really critical part - the bearing pre-load - should be left to just using an allen key by hand. I would submit that the allen key should be the part that is carefully torqued and the locknut can be hand-tightened with the threadlock applied.

well thats what the manual says , so it must be true , although i will admit i torqued mine up on the light side , however the two settings work together , these germans know their stuff.
If I am wrong and the Germans know their stuff why you did it different anyway?
