Mines the same. Concerns me too but according to my friend whose been running his for a few months, his was exactly the same and his car doesnt seemed to have suffered from it.

I had the same thing on mine. I didn't like it either, but it hasn't caused any problems yet.

This happens when you tighten the screws but doesnt cause any problems at all.

Ive built two cars, which both did this and so did my brothers. Neither of us have had any issues.

Dont worry about it mate :thumbsup:

Mine did this too, but nothing to worry about. I've stripped and rebuilt it a few times over the last 5 months for cleaning, etc and never stripped a thread or broken anything :)
