Gaggia MDF true stepless mod

This is my Gaggia MDF stepless mod.
Uses a piece of aluminum angle bolted to the main housing
and a bolt is threaded to bite against the top brass carrier.
The threaded hole for the bolt should be angled to meet the brass
carrier at 90 degrees.

The indexed numbered plastic piece will no longer used as it would get in the way.
I use a piece of masking tape on the cover and on the hopper.

Required:
6-32 bolts and nylon insert nuts
6-32 tap
Dubro 6-32 allen ball driver
Piece of 1/8 angle
Drill, ability to remove the main housing from the plastic exterior and some patience.

the 6-32 allen ball driver and tap should be available at any hobby shop
dealing in radio control airplanes.
