Slippage is not possible here because the beginning of the cable passes through a hole in the shaft once.
In addition, to adjust the panel 180 degrees I actually only need 3 turns of the cable.

On the driven ring, attached to the pivot, I secure the cable with bolts.

The new panel tilt mechanism to mount in the foundationbox.
The black part in the drive shaft becomes the shear coupling.

The panel-support arms get their shape in polyester.
On the left the drum for the tilt drive of the panel.

It is now important to close the foundation box properly so that all drive- and control components can be weatherproof mounted in it.
