Fishing line is probably the easiest to get. Loop the thread, and push it through the hole. Then plug the hole with a round toothpick. For a quick fix, you can tie the thread around the jack adjustment screw. Wim ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
