Connections / Design study / CABLE-STOPS-R8
A defined sleeve travel.
Radial shoulder stops capture the sleeve around a proposed 3 mm release motion.
Retained development study. Dimensions, names and checks belong to this revision—not automatically to the retrofit-only product. Manufactured tank shells are deferred. No installation instruction, certification or manufacturing release is represented.

The source reasoning
Why this detail was investigated.
A defined travel stop makes the retention concept inspectable. Threads, stop retention, return spring and physical qualification remain unresolved.

Source-linked work for this revision. Reported checks describe the stated model or test; physical qualification and applicability to the current retrofit remain separate.
SUBFIELD LINK / MECHANICAL DEVELOPMENT
Two radial shoulder stops capture the orange sleeve while preserving its 3 mm release motion. Fit the sleeve first, then install the stops through its windows.
Concept only. Stop threads and retention, the return spring and physical qualification remain open. These views show six mechanism parts; the full assembly has 457 solids.
