Hi Chris, I did think of a magnet, but I'd have to make the cap quite a bit bigger, it's currently just under 1mm clear of the fixing nut, I also don't think even a strong magnet would hold it on against paintball hits or bashing scrub. There will be an aluminium washer that will get bent up to lock the nut when installed, so I doubt that after I fix the caps I'll need to do any maintenance, and if I have to, it'll still work just fine without the cap! Losing a cap or two won't stop me getting into battle. for magnets, i was thinking of these: _Click here: 10 N40 Dia. 1/4" X 1/8" Thick DISC NEO Magnets $3.99 - eBay (item 230485798389 end time Jul-09-10 13:43:01 PDT)_ (http://cgi.ebay.com/10-N40-Dia-1-4-X-1-8-Thick-DISC-NEO-Magnets-3-99-/230485798389?cmd=ViewItem&pt= LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35aa062df5) well, maybe not those exactly, but the same type. i have some of them, and they are super strong unlike your craft store refrigerator magnets Chris, _Odyssey Slipways_ (http://hometown.aol.com/odysseyslipways/index.html) -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
