Gearbox bend pin fix

Yesterday I had some spare time left to also look into the bend gearbox pin, as per blog:

When I had everything mounted back again I ran into this issue again when back home. So draining the excessive fluid wasn't the culprit. For those interested, I read this tech tip though:

Luckily I had my toolkit with me so I could undo everything again and use my hand to hold the pin firmly to avoid bending again. So this had to be cured as well. But replacing this pin/cable would be a tremendous job.

So I figured to put a splint on to it so it could not bend again. This is what I came up with, just using a piece of screw thread (draadeinde) and two braces. So far it does do the trick
