I want to thank Wayne of World of Wayne on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnqD64BMSRW6S8phmT1gohw) for the suggestion of using longer, metal hex head screws. He gives an Amazon link to the one he purchased online. However, being here in the US, I knew there had to be an easier way to get them. I went to Home Depot and purchased several bags of SOCKET CAP SCREWS M3-.5 X 8MM screws at around $.60 a bag. Everbilt P/N 212002. There are 3 per bag. Wayne states that he did this because the screws didn't seat all the way against the panels. I did it because I couldn't get the screws to screw in all the way because the hex would strip and turn the screw.

Anyway, it's just a suggestion in case you have the same problem(s).

He has a good youtube channel running doesn't he.

I am not a massive fan of these sort of mediums but i do like World of Wayne as he has a very "real" feel to his updates. Very much like listening to your best mate.

Glad you managed to get your problem resolved.

I get to bi**hing every time I hear him say helmet, bolts instead of screws and general complaining because of some of the other things, like wearing his 'helmet'. He had the better videos of the R2D2 videos that I watched so I went ahead and subscribed to his channel. I am sure after I finish my R2, I will un-subscribe. Not sure yet.

I like watching a lot of YouTube. I do learn quite a bit sometimes. I am a very mechanically inclined person and was having problems with my lawn mower. I knew what the problem was but didn't know how to resolve it. I learned what it was, fixed my mower, another that was given to me for the same reason AND ended up fixing other neighbors' mowers with the aid of YT.
