I've run into the same problem.<BR>Here is how I solved the

the slot

have to
shorten the overall length of the flange on a disc sander. (a
probability)<BR>secondly you may have to elongate the flange screw =
hole.(another probability)<BR>When reinstalling the flange, it =
will want
to twist since the slot is there to hold it in position, so apply =
some
pressure to evenly push the flange back into the action when =
tightening
the flange screw.<BR>Make good and sure that the lever is square =

ones beside it, and has not twisted.<BR>When you can not get =
matching
replacement parts, you are between a rock and a hard place so
improvise.<BR>Regards Roger<BR><BR><BR>At 10:30 PM 21/10/99 -0300, =
