I tried that. There is no spline. The lever and the cam seem to be made
out of one piece.
And yes, if the cable is in line with said lever, it does not matter
how much I tighten the turn buckle.
I guess it all comes down to the drum diameter. I have the sneaky
suspicion that someone in the past bored them out way too big.

Again, does anyone have a number for the maximum permissible drum I.D.?
