Still dialing the tape cover in.  I've found out it's rather hard to design a bendy thingy with two holes spanning nearly across the middle of it, and one hole that goes all the way to an edge.

Everything else is sorted.  The tori solution for cover tape tension adjustment is good, ratchets are tuned and working perfectly, and moving the spring to the connecting rod and moving it up top worked great.

Al.....  most...... there.
