I stripped the nozzle lock lever screw anchor threads (not the screw threads) when i removed the lever, doh!
For those who don't know when you want to acess the fan area on a Generation3 thru Sentria do not remove the nozzle lock lever screw as it has been flattened at the factory to remain in place permanetly. Yes it turns but leave it be! The link is to a replacement case plate which is where i found the above info. Straightned out my, 'factory defect' theory. So although the vac works fine regardless of my screw up (heh heh), it is clear i need to fix this. Is a replacement case face plate the best way to go or is there a way to restore the tapped threads i have now 'pert near ruined? CLICK HERE TO GO TO stricklybojack's LINK on eBay

It all depends on how much you want to spend but $20 does not seem bad especially if you are not able to re-drill the holes easily. Just my two cents thanks. Zach | ||
