As we believe you are already aware, the torque arm will not stay tight. We have tried fitting it up so that it beds on a taper in order to get it really tight on the spiggot, but we have been unsuccessful. We are sure that no modification of the existing fitting will stand up to the job, but that the arm requires to be attached to a wider and more substantial base. --------- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M.
