Hey all,
I have had my LSV for 4 years and this weekend was the first time the screws on the plate to the actuators were missing.2 screws missing then I notice all the screws were pretty much stripped out.The threads that are in the actuator attachments are plastic.I had to drill out the threads and then use allen head bolts with one side sanded down flat for clearence issues on the bracket.I put the bolts in from forward to aft with nuts on the backside.I just could not believe the threads were plastic.I would guess something different with the stress that thing is exposed to in use.Later.
