hey guys I think I might have solved the spur gear adaptor grub screw problem I was having.
Basically I've taken one of the long grub-type screws thats used for droop adjustment, and used that (It was a short one of two I had, I think for the std 415 suspension). The only worry I had over this was that it might be unbalanced when spinning, however, I've tested it both by hand (spinning it freely on the layshaft, no other pulleys/belts connected), and powered (belts, pulleys etc connected) and there seems to be no undue vibration, so I think it's problem solved

Another plus point is not needing to use a thin allen key if I want to adjust it, as the screw head protudes now by about a mm, meaning I can just use my small allen driver instead
Much easier when a rapid spur gear change is needed

Oh and the Blue TRF setting boards are soooo nice, car looks very happy on it now
