Thanks. Will double nut it and see if I can snug stud back up into the case. I have not been able to find a good pic or parts fiche of this stud and how it fits in the case,.. does anyone have an image of this? Since the stud wiggles back and forth a little I'm not very hopeful. Almost puked when I noticed it. Thinking I might be going with the JB redneck patch up fix regardless. I have had good luck with that stuff in the past.
I tried a search about this problem but its a hard one to find info on, I'm sure it's been talked about on this forum and been done before. Amazing group of folks on here with a wealth of knowledge. Thanks again for the help and suggestions. Will post a follow-up and let you know how it goes.
