[CW] Vibroplex Champion Question

[Gary H. Harmon, Jr.]

Thanks Benny.  I will look at that option as well.  Then I would have a hole
to fill.  Many solutions, none simple expect leave it as-is and worry about
something else.  lol

GARY

IF YOU WERE TO ATTEMPT A FIX,  HOW ABOUT MOVING THE DAMPING BUTTON ON
THE END OF THE ARM TO ALIGN WITH THE WHEEL?   THAT SEEMS EASIER AND
LESS RISKY THAN MOVING THE PIVOT LOCATION.

REALLY appreciate all the responses.  Fore and aft is certainly the issue
and as stated below, no adjustment.  I guess one could slightly enlarge the
hole in the bottom of the U shaped damper bracket or even slightly enlarge
the hole in the base.  Either one will provide a small amount of adjustment
but I generally don't like to modify stuff from the original.  As I have
stated before, the bug works fine but looks a tad odd.  One more thing I
want to do is to disassemble the Champion and Lightning I have to do a
precise measurement of the shaft lengths.  Just curious.
