Many thanks for any help. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 | Usually they are brass screws and can be easily deformed with a punch to keep them from threading back out.

Truckernix, I guess I'll follow the easiest way (Loctite). By searching "loctite", I found two posts from Carbking (page 2, 25 Feb. 2009 and page 3, 17 Jul.2008 and another from Cavebull (page 3, 17 Jul 2008), all three endorsing the use of the adhesive. Thank you for the valuable advice.
