You and Andrew are absolutely RIGHT!!! Yeah, from a guy who used to race formula and sports cars (and who safety wired with stainless steel finely drilled aircraft bolts), and built race engines using Loctite, I should know better. Probably should have at least tipped them pesky 2400 screws with silicon gasket sealer (but my tube was all dried out) and I didn't want to wait to chase Loctite the next day all over Switzerland (it's not California with 364 day 24 hour shopping)....!!! Also, believe it or not, there is no such thing as a USA style or FAP style auto parts store here. The Swiss market tries to keep all this more proprietary for the vested interests of its mechanics. Unbelievable!!! Then yuh know, kinda impatient when in the middle of a job...but that isn't the first time (my) impatience begat a whole host of other problems--but I didn't even think of nail polish! (Not being a cross-dresser type, couldn't bend my brain enough to think of this clever substitute ;-)! Sidney ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
