I have a problem with my T-fource. I hit a plywood barrier, and the chassis sort of chipped around teh body post. CRC uses these little tiny screws for the posts, and it basically ripped through. What should I patch this up with? Should I push the graphite into place and epoxy the edges? The use a larger screw to hold the post?

Thanks

yes, you can use either super glue or epoxy to fix the graphite. you'll want to hold it in place with either a C-clamp or vise grips while it dries. after it is dry, use a 5-40 flathead screw for the front body posts. not only will you have a little bigger contact patch on the graphite, but the screw will thread into the body post much tighter so it doesn't loosen up.
