Also known as "super-glue". I've done that with several sets and the only downside is it doesn't come apart even when you want it to so you have to get it right the first time. I found a better solution is to use a 2-56 screw and nut combo (I forget the metric equivalent) that works very well. If one is concerned about the "fall out" use the nylon version. If I want to keep a pair of connectors together, I put the smallest size "tie-wrap" through both sets of holes and pull tight. Keeps the shells of each pair in alignment and keeps the mated pairs together. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
