Thanks. Then it sounds like I have effectively done the same thing by grinding a couple of millimeters off the previous version to fit them on my A700.

I think LS is for linear steering, but can we use them with norma steering?

My droop screw inserts seems like they are a weak point. Even as I CA glue them as specified, I have had a few that has loosen up afterwards, and mainly when having a crash. It is only in my standard soft alu and hard alu lowerdeck. Is there any tricks to avoid this ?

The technique I used for this was to fill the hole will a medium glue like aka tire glue, press in the insert, then hit it with kicker. I never lost an insert this way.

Thankfully the X car eliminates this issue

Sorry for asking, but when you say 'hit it with kicker' you mean using activator to harden the CA right ?
It know how to glue the inserts proberly, but when cutting away the excess material of the inserts from underneath, then I think the strenght of the glue is weaken.
