I have an Alpha 1 gen 2 drive.
I want to set up the trim position sender.

Following the guide : http://www.mercstuff.com/trim_limit.htm

Having obtained some new screws - just went to start on the job and I failed at the first hurdle.

I trim drive right in (as per instruction) ... however this does not allow me to get at the clamp screws.

I can get at one screw OK .. but the other screw is completely blocked by casting, how do you get at it.

The picture on the url above shows the trim sender screws as both well clear of Gimbal Housing casting.
On my install one of the screws is behind the casting, how do I get at it ... is there some trick to moving the Gimbal casting ?

As per this pic I just took : (I know it's not trimmed right in, in the pic)

if it is as simple as that ... I am going to feel very stupid :mad:

Give it a go tomorrow ........ looks like I may have trouble, as the screw I could get at would not budge.
