The eye which goes on to the gearbox plug is screwed into the tube which forms the stay. It is not locked in any way and has worked loose. Could it not be pinned or brazed as cheaply, or alternatively a lock nut be provided as at the front adjustable end of the tube? ---------- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M.
