Many thanks for all the advice.

I went for the suggested options of scratching the soft bronze
coloured washers (which i dont think were ever curved) and the faces
they fit
against. I also squeesed the ' U ' shape holder with long handled
pliers.
It now at least holds up at an angle, but only just.

Did you try a paper washer ? Just tear off a bit of copy paper, slip it
down the side of the yoke, and push the screw through and tighten.
Works for me !

many thanks.

p.s. is it me, or are some people decidedly *strange* in these
newsgroups ?

Yes we are all strange in our own way !
Some are stranger than others !
Don't know about him though ! ;-)
