Avet Lever Drag Adjustment

[Gerry Zagorski]

OK now I am on a mission here Called the Avet factory and spoke to their tech suppport.... The cam will give you some adustment but removing the Pusher Bushing (pn 6) and adding a few additional sets of Belville Washers (pn 5) to make up that space gives you more adjustment....

These washers get compressed and decompressed based on the position of the lever drag lever and cam. When you remove the pusher bearing which is a fixed part and has no flex, and add the washers which are concave and have flex, this gives more flex/movement which in cooperation with the spring and cam allows more adjustment.

See my 1st grade drawing below:

A few notes

- You are going to remove the Pusher Bushing and start by adding 2 additional set of Belville Washers....(you might need 3 additional sets but start with 2)

- Washers are to be installed like this ()()()() to allow for max compression

- Very important that the last washer on the end that meets up with the bearing is installed like this ) rather than this (... If installed like this ( it will rub up against the bearing and could ruin it.

More to follow I'm sure
