Has anybody else run into this problem? have you had any problem getting them replaced by VP-PRO? what other choices are out there to replace the stock screws? thanks for any advise that you could share.
I can not comment on the after market screws but make sure you have a good sharp 1/16 wrench and don't use any thread lock. They only need to be just a tiny bit more than hand tight. If you run aluminum shoes you will want to replace them on a regular basis anyway. Take a look at the ones you have at present I'll bet they are worn where the shoe rides. A three shoe clutch wears out the same way on the pins. At least you can change out the pins for little money.
