I seem to have previously 'forced' a fairing screw into place and shredded any chance of it coming out easily or ever going back in at all. I wouldn't mind but it's the one bloody side panel screw that goes into the frame Doh! Laughing

What can I do to rectify this error of superior rushed stupidity?

So you've stripped the threads on the frame?

As long as there is still some thread left on the frame, put some superglue (may work with some loctite) on the screw, leave it to dry and then screw it in. It should hold the panel easily as long as you don't do it too tight.

The little bits of thread left on the frame will create new screw threads in the superglue.

Then he has to go out and buy another screw, that takes more effort than blobbing some superglue on the screw and letting it dry.

Much easier.

Isnt the problem that it wont come out??

Your going to have to remove it by some kind of force I guess, screw remover/ drill the end then mole grip etc., then you will need to re-tap it (a tap of the same size might re-new the thread) and if it dont work you might have to go a size up and then have to use a different fairing bolt Thumbs Up

It will come out with quite a bit of force but there would be no chance of screwing it in any further than half way back in.

This 'tapping' business is something I've heard of but have no clue about. Confused

tapping = making screw threads

Its where you drill out the old screw, and then use a cutting tool I forget if its the tap or the die, where by you cut a new thread for another sized screw, and just replace the fastner with a size of bolt/screw which the tap/die size you used. works pretty well.

When using loctite you're meant to drop a little onto the threads and screw it in while it's still wet.

Is it the bolt or the nut that you have stripped? If the bracket is pretty much a piece of metal with a nut welded to it and you know someone who could do it, a new nut could be welded on pretty easily.

That's to lock the screw in, I wasn't suggesting that Rolling Eyes
