Well I removed the grub screw, but the barrel did not want to slide off even with a little force. What I then did is going to sound ugly, but it actually worked. I found a self tapping screw just larger than the hole and screwed it in, thus forming the beginnings of an internal thread. I then found a small bolt about the same diameter and screwed this into the hole to improve the thread. I then found a small cylindrical piece of brass which was fitted to the (shortened) bolt to make a little thumbwheel. I can now lock the DR3 in any position just by tightening the thumbwheel. There's no damage to the unit itself apart from the thread which is hard to see. |
