Re: need help (again).
A Sheet Nutsert is your permanent fix. Either buy a kit (they aren't expensive) or have Excalibur fix it for you.
The one below is metric so you'll have to find an SAE kit.

Re: need help (again).
Those are 10/32 screws. You can drill it out and re tap yo larger size. A #12 ?
Re: need help (again).
Isn't a #12 machine screw a 7/32 screw? I'm asking. I'm not as familiar with SAE sizes vs metricflightattendant100 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 1:01 pmThose are 10/32 screws. You can drill it out and re tap yo larger size. A #12 ?

Re: need help (again).
Don, I'm not sure .I just know its bigger than a #10. The one I did, I went to a 6mmsomething because I couldnt find a #12 with a correct head at the local big box home store. I had some metric taps from some door hardware work ,so Thats what it got. 6mm gets close but it worked fine. (7/32 is probably at least really close.)Boo wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 3:18 pmIsn't a #12 machine screw a 7/32 screw? I'm asking.
