Hey guys, looking at the brakes today it seems that the two screws that hold the brake pads going to the transmission are striped anyone ever have this problem? the screws are fine the casing is not any idea? Cheers!!:cheers:
 
Try putting a little CA glue in the holes, then CAREFULLY install the screws all the way in, and let it set up. Make sure not to get glue on any moving parts, of course. That just might take care of you for now!
 
what would happen if you jb welded the hole an drilled a small hole then use the coarse thread screws?
 
Tooth pick or old plastic may work-good idea.
With CA though if you fill hole and put screw into it and let it set then remove and assemble parts works pretty good-as long as you don't glue parts together like I have before lol.

Like Grump said get a 3mm machine screw and use CA this works wonders. My basher has been done this way and has been holding for a while not.
 
I used the glue trick too. My screw had broke and half of it stayed in the casing. I would try to use medium CA glue. I used thin and it sets so fast. I actually glued my fingers together cuz I was in a hurry and got some glue on them. I like the toothpick idea too.
 
just had this problem

tried just about everything

if you have a strong servo , nothing will work

get a new transmission case IMO
 
Well some 3mm inserts with machine screws would work.
I used at all positions in my trans except at brake-duh-and on my radio box too. I did have to drill out a little bigger than what supplied drill bit size and CA glued insert in and I think it works great. I need to do brake area next time I have trans out.

those are cool, never saw those
 
A very small amount of PVC glue with a liberal amount of pvc shavings added to it. Allow a fair amount of time for the shavings to "melt" in the glue, leaving a thick "jelly like" consistency. If it is not thick enough, add more shavings.

Coat the screws with ARO, or better yet, melted candle wax to act as a release agent.

When you have your "putty" made, fill the hole in with it , and pack it tight. Insert your screw, and snug it into position the best you can. Leave it at least 12 hours and then snug the screw as you please.

This method also works very well with any 2 part epoxy such as JB weld, as long as the part you are putting the epoxy on is roughed up.

My dad once did it on stripped VW bug sparkplug holes, and it lasted 75,000 miles. (JB Weld method) They were even able to tourqe the plugs to factory specs.

Just my .01

Dave, you could have just said contact adhesive instead of making it difficult???? LOL:resp: :resp:

Just to correct you there Allan, CA or cyanoacrylate is not a contact adhesive. That is something totally different ! :resp:

That was a very interesting article that you linked Pineapple, especialy the bit about the baking soda, well worth reading IMO. Thanks for sharing.

And you say I am making things difficult AllanQ? LOL JK!!
Thanks Hop it. I love Wikipedia and other sites like it.
The web is way cool to learn on anything you want to now a days.
 
I just got a 2 speed transmission from nitronutzz for 14.50 complete

the onewaY in the trans. @ LHS is 22 bucks. (so 14.50 is well worth it for a factory HD 2 speed trans)

you need the case anyway

if you are runnig a 3 speed then I would just order the case, the 3 speed
complete trans is 74 bucks
