do you know anyway of doing that that would be cost effective and easy to manufacture? That's the only reason we haven't adapted that and are ok if it is not perfect. it is primarily there for slight assistance with aligning with the gear lift. we have looked at some implementations of such a method but concluded it would be to difficult for our ability with manufacturing.

Thanks
