Do the next and the next in the same way.
BUT, don't turn screw into them for a couple of hours...let the epoxy harden good so you don't break the seal when screwing in. Of course as you hold the phillips head screwdriver from beneath, center the nut hole directly under the hole you will be passing the screw thru.
Have fun. |
Great point Rog I had the same problem with my SR1 and after hours with using tweezers I ended up doing the same thing with glue. It worked well and saved a lot of exta frustration. |

LMAO, you probably ate them all.

Anyway, the resto is looking good mate.
