|
|
Two of the captive "nuts" that keep the VIM attached to the chassis are missing. I cannibalized a couple of the little round captive "nuts" from an older chassis. Can anyone tell me a slick way to "attach" these captive nuts. They appear to have been press fit originally. I considered super glue, but am afraid it will make its way into the threads.
Thanks,
Patrick Moore

you don't need them.
but you could press them in with vice grips or use 2 part epoxy.

those 2 little round sheetmetal screw retainers are flared in like a pop rivot. Easiest thign to do is rob the entire moutning plate off an old broken 8000 VIM.

I would agree dragan, if the problem was just that little plate betweenthe two VIMs, but mine are missing from the main chassis bulkhead. Bummer.
