If you looked at the car from the rear the plates would have a series of holes for the set screws to fit into, locking the axle into the desired position. Ideally you wouldn't have to pull the entire axle out everytime to change inserts, just slide the entire asymbally up or down, screw into place and your done. Just curious to see if anyone see's where I'm comming from on this....
would be limited in how many step you could make and maching costs would increase.
