Miller Guide Flag saver...

What to do when your mushroom cap weight no longer fits securely to the post of your guide flag....

PARTS / TOOLS REQUIRED:

#11 xacto blade/knife or fiskars sprue cutters
1-72 tap drill
1-72 tap
1-72 flat head screw-length of threaded shaft-.2415" / total length-.275"
blue threadlocker
small slotted screwdriver

PROCEDURES

-Remove guide flag post at base with xacto knife or fiskars sprue cutters
-Carefully drill down approx. 1/16" into base with the 1-72 tap drill
-Carefully tap out hole with 1-72 tap
-slide 1-72 screw ( t jet rear body screw will fit) through mushroom cap
-apply a very small amount of blue threadlocker into hole you have drilled
-carefully, without overtightening or hurting threads, screw into base of flag, through chassis mount

This can save having to replace an expensive braided flag (the only way to go) and a mushroom weight (very much an asset)!
