Kondia FV-1 Head disassembly

[Mayhem]

I went to check the requirements for the locking handles for the knee, as I wanted to place an order for the indexable ones. The reason being is the the original ones stick out quite far, so that the handles don't hit the column. The knee locks that press on the gibb have an angled brass slug, which I had assumed went into the hole before the handle screws is (as does the saddle lock). I soon discovered that these have a head that is larger than the thread and go in from the gib side only!

So the engine hoist will get a work out once more, as I lift the knee off. Looking on the bright side, I am glad I discovered this before the table had gone back on...

As Greg says - all part of the fun, fun, fun
