LRP X11 problem

[andys]

I have an LRP X11 that came un-done (long screws that hold it all together) last time I ran it. Now the screws won't tighten back up. The threads look ok, it feels like the thing / bolt they screw into has threads that have gone inside the can.

I know I can remove the end of the motor, but can I get the top end off to see what's going on in there without buggering it up ?

Anyone else had a similar problem, as it is I can't use the motor as only 1 screw will tighten back up :(

Basically it's shot.

the screws screw into a PCB on the other end and once that is stripped there is no way to fix it.

What you can do is fairly drastic but works. You need to superglue a threaded rod into the PCB through to the metal front cap and then secure it with a smyll bolt. To get the motor to sit flush with the motor plate you need to file a recess for the nut to sit in.

There is a thread on here with pictures of an X11 which has been fixed like that but I can't find it anymore.
