hi Marc,

My G11 was a much older model than yours appears to be so the design may have changed. I bought my G11 in the U.S. in the late 1980s/early 1990s and transported it home myself.

Even if the shafts are threaded into the endcaps, there still must be a way of locking those end caps to the shafts.

When you tighten the hand-clutch knurled knob really tight, and then attempt to move the end caps back and forth, is there any movement between the endcap and the shaft?

If there is you will still have to tighten the allen-headed setscrews. They were about 6 or 8 mm ones.

The setscrews may not immediately be apparent. I have a vague memory of the setting circles covering up the threaded holes where the setcrews go. I seem to recall having to remove (or simply move) one or both setting circles. I think that there was a small screw holding the setting circle to the periphery of the endcap.

Doug
