Fiammi adjustment
ok got a 45i
working great for the last few years but recently when winding it in i get to the point where the ally part tries to lock back into the main body and it would appear to be too far fwd by 1/4", so i have to sort of tap it / poush it in then carry on winding the last few inches till it locates fully home
any links to adjusting these

Re: Fiammi adjustment
If you mean one side shuts tight before the other.
You can, when wound out fully put some sticky tape on the surface of the side you require "drawing in".
This increases the surface area and makes that side wind faster.
E D I T !! OR YOU CAN DO IT PROPERLY. See below

Re: Fiammi adjustment
thats inded a good link , have saved it.. but..................
thats not the problem, it winds in perfect till the last 9" then the fwd of the 2 bars underneath slows and stops so it then seems to oivot around this and hence lags on the fwd end , I was looking for a cutaway/parts type exploded diagram to show the workings then its dead easy to deduce what and why, suppose i will take it to bits and sort in my own way . not an urgent problem but one for the list of jobs to do..

Re: Fiammi adjustment
Mike , have you wound it right out , like until the 'arm are out as far as they will go , the fabric will go 'baggy' ,then try winding it back in slowly
could be that theres crap on the top of the fabric and in the mech
