Later the glued in wire can be easily removed by heating the wire with a soldering iron from the inside if it is really stuck. hope this helps those that are fighting their windows craig ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:54:09 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Mod 70 From: "flyingphil2" Hi, Just a minor point to check I've not done anything wrong. I'm fitting Mod 70 from new rather than replacing. The instructions say use an AN3-10A bolt to hold the TP18B component in place. If I do this then I have about 3-4mm of unthreaded shaft pointing out from the other side. The instructions then say use an AN960-10L washer behind the nut but this is not thick enough to get over the unthreaded shaft. I believe the bolt I have is the correct item and I could obviously pad it out with washers but why not use an AN3-9A or something OR have I done something wrong?

Microfiber is extremely soft (it's what your eyeglass cleaning cloths are made of) but is very durable (it's what a lot of furniture is covered with these days). Because the fibers are microscopically thin, they're woven extremely close to one another so dirt and debris can't penetrate and brushes right off. Opt for one of the thicker versions for durability's sake. It's available at any fabric store in just about any color and is dirt cheap. Buy enough to replace every year or so as the sun and weather will eventually get to it.

The original build manual specifies that bolt as a AN3-7A (Page 20-2). I have an arm here and you are correct that an AN3-10A would leave 3-4mm of unthreaded shaft. The AN3-7a is just the correct length.
