What I did was grease the screw and then form the JBWeld over/around the screw with some extra 'weld' over the plastic edges, and as the JBWeld set up, I un-screwed the screw and it left a nice impression of the screw. when the 'weld' hardened, I used a knif and file to get the edges smooth to mate with the 'frame'. I am now very careful to NOT over tighten the screw, but it has held for 2 years now. __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com
