Hood,
Mount your proximity detectors into threaded holes thus avoiding the internal nut, and having a locking nut on the outside. This way they can be adjusted without dis-assembly.
Why do I say this? The Locked and Unlocked sensors on my Beaver turret are mounted on a sub assembly with internal locking nut, and adjusting is a right royal pain, as you have to remove the sub-assembly, tweak, put it back, and maybe repeat half a dozen times before it's spot on.
(These sensors are described as 'precision switches', they are not proximity switches, and work on a tapered bit of the shaft with a few thou being the difference between on and off)

There is no room for all three locking nuts on the outside with the space I have so it would need to be one inside and two out or vice versa.
I suppose I could make up a plate to hold the prox's so they could be easily removed for adjusting but with them being at the rear of the turret that wouldn't be much of an advantage.
I certainly don't need such precise switches, my friends TC15 uses similar ones and I remember him crying at the price of them.
