AR177 588 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) I don't want to sound insulting, but you have taken the pad off and tightened the two screws that hold it onto the wood? need to check just to make sure its not something simple Edited June 24, 2013 by AR177 Quote Link to post
Andy_c 210 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 It is one of those that has come loose and will not tighten fully it's like it's chewed the wood out and the screw won't do u, the actual pad is fine it's the base the pad bolts too no insult taken that is why I put base Quote Link to post
AR177 588 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 humm... could always put a blob of epoxy in the hole that would nip it up ... need something to fill the void that the screw has chewed out if not maybe changing the screw for a different size thread would that help? 1 Quote Link to post

Andy_c 210 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 I don't know the wood gone might try some sort of raw plug Quote Link to post
Lewis Ste 245 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Use a thicker screw or drill in and use a longer on or just do both to be sure 1 Quote Link to post
pianoman 3,589 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 It's not an unfixable situation. The solution is here in the replies you have, Andy. 1 Quote Link to post
