Looking at the problem this morning, I've come up with a few options.
A) I could rout out the outer sides of the wedge connectors on the cage,
but the problem there is the the bolt that the wedge runs on is still at
the wrong angle. Trying to bent will damage either the connector or
possibly the cage itself, they're made of brass.
B) I can run it through the bench saw and cut them off as neat as possible,
then make wedged shaped spacer to the 2 degree angle I need and
re-glue. The wedge bolts would come with them as they dont go through
the secondary ring
C) I could just cut them off and make another variety shown in Kriege's book
which is where I scanned the image from, so I didn't have to try and
describe it.
Option C would also fix another design problem that I came across, with the
wedges permanently fixed the way they are. They get in the way while trying
to attach the secondary cage. But I'm also thinking, maybe a cross between
A and B rout out the sides and angle them.
Ed, trying to modify the mirror box is an option, but I would prefer the split
block were on the outside. But just looking at it now the outside diameter
of the secondary cage is about an in all round smaller than the mirror box.
