Next up a range of projects for a customer in London.

This armbase had seen some wear with the arm pillar retaining screw thread stripped.
The original solution was not ideal.

I made a new slightly bigger thread for a grub screw, a second one to beef it up and a third grub screw to properly retain the outer collar.

Should be good for years to come now.

Next a Counterweight sleeve to fit over the original and increase the mass by 118g

Lastly, a rework of the recent armboard I made.
The tail turned out to be too long. I shortened it to fit. No charge.
The customer had tried to enlarge the SME slot to take a different armbase.
I refurbed it to improve the looks and function with a slight slot for adjustment

Restored

With larger slot. The SME armbase will still fit of course and cover the hole nicely.
