There is something out here called JB Weld, that Bill Wade recommends--I finally got some at a Hobby Town shop recently, and it does as well for this stuff as the old "plastic Steel" does--JB is two parts to mix, "Plastic Steel" is a single squirt out the tube, which may dry up before you get to use all of it.

One of the threaded screw holes that holds the two halves together has become stripped and the screw no longer holds the thing tightly together. The result is that the screw holding the sideframe to the bottom doesn't hold either because its hole is slightly spread. That's a problem because of the 'spring drive'. My temporary fix has been to dab some CCA glue into the threads of the housing, let dry and 'retap' the hole through the dried glue with the screw. I was surprised when it worked because of all the grease in these things. What's a long term fix to this problem other than buying a die and tap set of slightly larger size or ordering a new gear tower housing?
