When I break a wire, I just replace the thing with a duplicate = old one, and regulate til its good to go..Richard Gullion, London Canada Richard, Make up your mind which country you're in!<G> Have I got a box of wippens? Sheesh! Those who know me, know that I got's lotsa boxes of wippens!! However, finding the exact duplicate is a bit more difficult than you would make it seem. (for those newbies out there.) "Close" only counts in Horseshoes, Hand Grenades & H Bombs, so please don't give me that bit, thank you very much.<G> I pulled down a few boxes, (from out of the upper cobwebs area<G>), and none were close enough to satisfy me, especially, the condition, (ie, look/geometry). After all, who's been supplying you guys with all of them obsolete thingees, of late!? (Trying to clear out the area, just a bit!<G>) I must say Ron N's suggestion was about the best. Someone else suggested drilling a hole next to the broken one, really didn't/doesn't ring my bell, although that would work, but then the client is fussy. Best Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T. Captain, Tool Police Squares R I P.S. BTW, I'm done with that bit anyway, but thanks to all who responded. Yes, even you Ron!<G> hehe
