Well don't!

A bright spark on one of the other forums has found that they might have an (unofficial) use after all....the "tube bits" of them are (for obvious reasons) a perfect size to slide along the arm, lodge between the upper and lower gear, and stop the arm from drooping.

Clever, or what?
Granted, rather ugly black plastic, but painted perhaps?
Wouldn't that interfere with the motion when the thing is running? Or perhaps I'm not understanding properly...
