question on anderson equinox shaft

[pax]

does only one of the spring buttons go into the hole?the lower rod has two spring buttons ,the upper shaft has one row of holes allowing foe only one spring button to go into the the hole

Hummm... hopefully Pete will give you more. The one Pete sent me to test had like you say double button on that spring clip and each had a hole securing the lower shaft. You arent trying to put his lower into the ML upper are you?

THANKS, Yes there is only one row of holes for one spring button to go into ,

Yes that is the way mine is and I put my control box on the forward hole. Not sure whats best for balance, may move mine around and move arm cuff holes to see which works best but its not too bad the way it is. This Anderson shaft is awesome no wobble and looks like a quality detector now. Well worth the extra money.

my question is why are there two spring buttons and only one row of holes that allow for only one spring button to go into?

Pax...... im back home now. I just checked mine to make sure...... and mine has the two button spring clip which goes into TWO rolls of holes. Im using the 2 piece. You arent using the ML upper are you? Because yes they just have one button and one hole. Ill let Pete know.

I ordered the two piece anderson shaft and the upper shaft has only one row holes going down the shaft

Early prototype shafts used 2 rows of holes while production units have single row guys...

is there any way to get a prototype upper? one spring button and a plastic screw still allows the lower rod to move, not what i was expecting.

Pax, you say you're still getting lower shaft movement using the COMPLETE (upper & lower) Anderson shaft for the Equinox ? Mark

Mine rarely comes apart and i have a fixed length i like. If i just had one hole for the spring clip....... id drill thru to make that second hole and put a nylon bolt in it. You have to cut down wear on these CF..... sand will chew them up....... and it drives me nuts to have my coil moving.

thanks and yes i have a little movement in lower shaft and it drives me nuts
