Tern Magnetix
I have three photos, and am not entirely certain that I'll be able to insert them where planned in the text.
My Dahon Speed P8 came with the "the plastic ball socket thingies", and based on advice here Iordered the Tern magnetix. I was a bit puzzled by what was in the mounting kit, as there didn't seem to be a secure way to mount the smaller magnet. Poking around, I found the first photo on the Tern site:
What I still don't comprehend is that this magnet appears intended to slide in and out under the spring's marginal control.
Is this the case?
I also found a photo on a Euro site, showing what appears to be an alternate (earlier?) version.
Looking further, I found this site: http://tinyurl.com/zmsca3e
which has the last photo:
showing the Tern small magnet piece at a very distorted angle. This fellow didn't like the Tern magnetix, and switched to the Dahon socket system - just the reverse of what I want to do.
==>> Did he install it incorrectly, and if not - how do you keep the right-hand piece perpendicular with the mounting braze-on?
==>> How do you install the Tern E-clip so that it doesn't go flying? They only include one, and I've had similar parts disappear and/or break in the past.
