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.

many thanks.

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


Yes ... Also note that it is generally frowned on to cross-post to so many
groups.
