After I examined the adjustment wheel a bit more, I asked myself, "Why are there 3 hole positions for the set screw? One would seem sufficient, so why 3?" If you look carefully, you can see that only one screw hole at a time will line up with the notch in the adjustment wheel. That way, if you want just a little bit more tension, you can fine adjust without moving the wheel a full notch. That will give at least 3 positions options per notch on the adjustment wheel = 18 positions. Each minor adjustment would require moving the screw to a diffierent hole. For a major adjustment, the screw would stay in the same hole.

I will post some pics once I buy my new wiring kit and make a few crimps.
