Assuming I cannot get 1.5 inch long UNC 8/32 bolts in the UK, other than a
hundred or stupid min order quotes, any suggestions. ? I cannot return this
amp , despite repair, as it is unsafe. The 4 vertically mounted screws that
litterally hold the amp into the cab are stripped to next to useless. Not
captive nuts , nor spire nuts in the chassis part, sort of combination of
both.
Stamped something like
CIP-MUL 832
54 950 / 075
So either woodwork fitting battens along the sides to support amp should
what is left of the screwthreads fail, but amp would be loose then, but not
fall out as such. Or fit metric captive nuts into the chassis and replace
the screws with metric. Or any other work-around suggestions.
I'm not interested in purists opinions , decrying non-originality. The
owners mistreat the amp and can keep the originals along with the all too
tempting-to-turn rear voltage selector knob . Fine for USA but out and out
safety hazzard in the UK, especially the way this lot abuse their kit.
Removed and plated off over the spindle and knob fitted internally inside
the amp for any later purists. Not enough thread for a spindle lock.
