Knocked this up last night from plasticard and spare bits

servo is a HK15138 3.8Kg-cm servo from hobbyking (£2.22)

calculated exerting 5.4Kg at start of travel building to technically infinite at end of travel, either way, plenty of force to clamp the tube properly. bolts used for easy adjustment.
