Hey Nino thats brilliant thanks heaps!! Now if you can tell me what happens on the bottom brass rivets in home and end position if its not too much trouble. Thanks heaps mate!

Sorry - I just assumed you wanted just the top section - Will do asap.

Hey Nino, sorry if i came across too demanding there  I really appreciate your help!!! Just not sure about this home position as the bottom contacts dont seems to get hit (the very first one)

Cheers!

Yeah you've got me there but you deserve it!!  I make very valid points you must admit

OK - I've cleaned the ball count unit so the pictures are a little clearer.

Here's a picture of the unit in the "home" position - Top section;



Here's a picture of the unit in the "home" position - Bottom section;

Hope this helps !

Nino, you are a legend!!! Mine is definately not positioned like that. I think im doing something wrong though because if i move the bottom rivets to the position shown, the top contact seems to go to far back and never reaches the end position when i progress it forward (if that makes sense)... need to have more of a tinker and thanks so much.

Has you wiper plate been put on back to front rob?

[Ford Fairlane]

I dont think so, i just took some pics but they turned out crap! I dont have Ninos photography skills   , it seems that on the bottom rivets, the furthest one on the right (near home position) never gets touched .. i tried to adjust again just then but motor still running  the trials and tribulations.. This is Pro Football!

[Strangeways]

Rob - The three screws govern the adjustment. As long as you adjust while the stepper is set "at home" then it should register as it sweeps across the contact to the "end point", prior to a reset. I'd like to see pictures of your Ball count unit when you have the opportunity.

My apologies for the following photos as for the life of me i cant get it focussed. Anyway here it goes;

View from above



Top rivets in home position



Bad pic bottom rivets in home position.  It is resting on the rivets but the closest rivet to the camera never gets touched



Top rivets in end position (resting on last rivet)



Bottom rivets in end position not being touched by any contacts

Release the three screws and move the top bakerlite board until it sits in the right spot !

Hi Rob,

Keep going, you're doing an excellent job!

Also, just a tip - for close up photos your camera should have a macro setting (sometimes its a small little flower symbol on your camera!)

Thanks for the tip and encouragement MartyJ! I just noticed that i started this thread in dec last year... how depressing
