So after I had removed all the head studs from the case, I noticed a couple had come out real hard, as if something was wrong with the threads. After cleaning the threads of the stud, I couldn't thread them back in the two suspect holes.
I got a 12mmx 1.5tap and chased those holes. Now, the head studs go right in and they wiggle!! Even after I bottom them out, they can be moved relative to where they exit the case. Is the case shot? What did I do wrong? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Just out of curosity, why did you remove a head stud. ?. and if you have a choise, and a spare case, (which you do) I agree that you should use it. Inspect it carefully. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Murray
