My T/T pulls out (toward driver) too easily. Is there an easy fix for this - someway to make the tight setting tighter?

Thanks! |headscratch|

Take off the horn button. You see three screws that hold the locking lever on to another plate. Remove the screws, and turn the plate clockwise 1/3 turn, and put the locking lever and screws back on. Note the screw holes are slotted. That's for fine adjustment. You may be able to just loosen the screws and slide it a bit, without having to make a larger adjustment.

The plate the screws go into has a threaded bolt that pushes down, and locks the telescope. Sometimes it doesn't take much, sometimes quite a bit of adjustment.

Fairly easy to do.
