I bought a bare one on ebay abt a yr ago at $150-, put it aside, and only recently fitted it without close checking. Sadly, it was not from maker, but a dodgy person who had damaged the central body thread and substituted a shorter main bolt. Result was the thread finally failed and I've done a bigend or 2.

None of this is the fault of the manufacturer, these are good, reliable devices-if correct parts are used, and they aren't abused.

They have a steel insert in the base for the bolt, & I'm having it helicoiled. It shouldn't give further trouble. Motor repairs are another matter.

The seller better hope I calm down before I find him.

NB Check all accessories on delivery for servicability, and again before fitting, partic if a failure does expensive/dangerous damage.
