Premium Members JensSchroeder Posted April 6, 2018 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Anyone has a good screw solution for bend fixing thumb screw? My lower screw to fix the spring arm is always bending after a certain period of time. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Thomas Crescenzo Posted April 8, 2018 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hey Jens, Can you post a picture? Are you referring to the lower thumb screw on the socket block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members JensSchroeder Posted April 10, 2018 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Hey Thomas, Thanks for your reply. By the way, your bushing adapters are so nice, I hardly want to use them so that they don't get scratches :-)) . And yes, it's the lower thumb screw. The last screw I had to take out was heavily bend so that I teared off the head while trying to unscrew. I don't know, maybe if I would find a tube with the suitable thread which I could use as a kind of bend protection'?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Matthias Biber Posted April 12, 2018 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hi Jens, is your carbon arm connected to the harness 90° ?Walter Klassen makes a crossover block that orients the arm a bit down. That results in having the male and the female socketblock more parallel and the lower screw (which bends) can be shorter so it won´t bent.

Premium Members JensSchroeder Posted April 13, 2018 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Thanks Matthias, good idea. Unfortunately I already have a special cross over block because my vest arm was build a little different. I have to check the degree of my cross over block..

Premium Members Thomas Crescenzo Posted April 14, 2018 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Jens, Thanks for feedback on the bushings. Glad to hear you like them.It sounds like you are already on to a good solution for the bending thumb screws by checking the angle of the carbon arm. Great call Matthias. Let us know what you find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
