ok...couple of issues...the knob on the "slo mo" cable is useless, this is a known issue that ill work around. Ill probably carry a mini vise wrench to attach to it. The second issue is my mount doesnt quite fit into the pier adapter plate without a lot of twisting and turning. I even lubed it but it didnt help. I think its off by enough that ill need to take a drum sander to it...shouldnt be too much work. Updates to follow...
