I have attempted to find earlier postings on this topic, but have not been successful. Perhaps an administrator will direct this post to the correct subject and category. I hope I’m not breaching protocol by posting images when I’m a rank amateur. My little add ons seem to work well, are inexpensive and unobtrusive.
The first image has what may seem to be a recognizable object; it is indeed a small latex finger protector which is often used (as in my case) to keep a bandaged finger dry. It was many months ago, don’t ask.
The second shows stage two; a large rubber washer which fits snuggly around the rod.
The third is a modified BMW motorcycle cable thingy which covers the adjusting nut. The very end little cap is probably not necessary, but it works for me.
Great forum. You don’t know me and I probably won’t be a frequent contributor, but thanks to you all.
