I thought I was being clever picking the best bits of several DIY steadies.
But I fell down the trap of not drawing it up and I just flew by the seat of my pants.
So I have a substantial outcome but not quite what I wanted or needed.
I think I needed bearings on the end of my adjuster but as I have used M20 x 1.5 long bolts the bearings I was going to fit won't work.
I think I need either plastic or bronze ends to fit over the bolts as the part I need to contain has gaps in its circumference. So I figured a ball ended fixture on the end of the bolts would enable me to bridge the gaps.
I would need to make some and run it to see I.guess.
