I would think the reason that it (probably) didn't make it into production, is the amount of force it would have taken -- so a solenoid the size of Texas. I was poking about in there yesterday as mine seem to have become stickier lately. I would have liked to tighten-up the nut and locknut that provide the initial tension in the system, but find they are impossible to access with normal spanners and normal-size hands, so lubrication sorted it.
