Just a note guys, this adapter design was never intended for public consumption and I know several people have made money fabricating them and one online reseller shows an adapter which is a direct copy. Which was never the intention.
Particularly given that I've never received a cent from them.

So best if any future requests for these drawings are politely passed to me. If it's for someone's personal use only I'm happy to help them out. But I'd like to keep these from being passed around freely or being made for commercial gain.

I have no problem helping people out. But I do want to retain control over these drawings and not have others making money off my altrustic endeavours.

The best way to do that is to request people don't pass the drawings around. Instead refer people back to me and I can supply directly as required.
I do exactly the same thing with parts I've designed for other hobby fields. Like CNC milling machine parts.

Oops my bad, I will delete my drawings from my emails. Perhaps you should get a heap machined up and if people want them then you sell them to them. :(

No problem, I know you meant well.
I have also designed up a better adapter, I just need the time and clear head-space to machine one up and test it.

Would have to be an expensive flash room, as I said, high maintenance :)
