10m home range project.

I've also just made the pulley cord brake.

I was quite pleased with how it came out and works. The spring is strong enough to clamp the cord solid, but not stiff enough to be too hard to hold down. The 'button' has been machined so that fully pressed to the stop aligns the cord hole perfectly so the cord can pass through without resistance. All the holes have had the sharp corners rounded off so the cord does not get cut.

That's a very impressive set up you've built Rob, nice Job.

I started on the new traversing back stop (not to be confused with the Northern Ireland Backstop, mine will better than that !!)

The swinging bar at the rear is there to hold the two rear wheels. It swings so it can compensate for any unevenness in the floor rails so the whole backstop can't rock on only three wheels. It has a lump in the middle so the pulley can slip under it due to my range tube only having 200mm extra over the 10m. I need to 'eek' out every bit of length, this solution will do it.

More pics to come and it will all become clear as it gets closer to finished.
