2005-05-08 Thread Mark Williams
Help, the forward blind nut on my Eraser is stripped. Don't know how that happened, I have been very careful when tightening the screws on the wing. My Shop Theory book tells me that an 8-36 SAE machine screw has a major diameter .010 larger than the diameter of the Metric screws that came
