The only difference in the control head is the length of the stub tube that
engages with the stator tube. If you put a non-adjustable head on an
adjustable wheel, then the first time anyone moves it away from the
fully-forward position, the tubes will disengage and allow the control head
to turn, likely ruining the wires.
The stator tubes were different, the "adjustable" tube had a much longer
slot. But I can't recall for sure how much shorter it was ... might reach
the fixed stub tube.
However, I don't believe there was any difference in the control head
sub-harness. My "non-adjustable" harness has extra length that would allow
it to be used with an adjustable wheel.
Somewhere I've got the stub tube from an "adjustable" control head, which I
could probably let you have cheap. You should be able to mount it onto your
non-adjustable head to convert it. Email me off-list if you're interested.
