I don’t see how it could possibly work with a DSG Orion that has a sweat shield

Here’s a picture example of the modification I do to the slide release to flatten it against the frame. It’s subtle, but it makes a world of difference.

Gio,

Are you just using needle nose pliers and bending it? I like that your modification is subtle and nothing to the extreme.

Thanks

Pliers work ok, a bench top vice works better. Be prepared to break a few trying. I find .245” width is about as far as I can reliably take it. Stock width is .260-.270”.

I did something similar, I used a small vise grip and went little by little to make sure I didn’t overdo it. It ended up rubbing the frame a little, so I just sanded underneath the lever to give a little more clearance. Worked great.

Not sure if this has been posted or discussed before, but I've found the information here very interesting. Preliminary results are promising.

I like his explanation of things in his videos.
