[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I filed the ball marker stem into a three sided(<)affair and trimmed to length. The 'edges' of the stem self threaded into the cable release. Very minimal force applied. I probably could pull it out with 'minimal' force if I choose. Its secure enough though that it doesn't wobble or fall out.
