Has anyone with an ASW-19 or other ASW ship modified the elevator for an automatic connection?

Schleicher TN-19 provides instructions for the automatic elevator connection but the instructions are not very detailed. The ASW-24 has the automatic elevator hookup of what looks to be the same design as what Schleicher calls out in their instructions.

If you have done the automatic elevator hook up modification I'm curious to how easy it was and what did you use as a reference? Any more details would be helpful.

Thanks,

I have a habit of walking to check elevator connection right after I put on my parachute at grid right before getting into cockpit. When you do it dozen times, it becomes habit. Parachute on - walk to check tail (takes 15 seconds). This of course after normal daily and preflight checks.
