Is there a secret here? Or do you just torque them in? I just don't want to strip the threads or something stupid. TIA.
Maggie- I couldn't tell you just now and may not be able to at all, but when I have time Sunday afternoon late, I will look in "My Featherweight and I" manual, to see what it shows. If no one else on the Board can tell you, you might check with Dave McCullum, (I think that's his name), he is the author of my book and has the Featherweight RX site. I need to help a dear friend after Church get everything set up in the Fellowship Hall for a wedding on Mon. afternoon, may be Monday late before I get back to you.Hope someone else can help you.
