Default Fiber Optic lens

What's used to mount the rear lens to the posts underneath the console? I at first thought they were threaded, but mine aren't. I looked around the zip and eckler's sites but couldn't find anything specific for that. Tnx.

Same here. Maybe someone has stripped the threads out on yours at some time. Try some mild thread locker and maybe that will be enough thread to hold the screws in for you.

Tnx guys. The posts have a fairly large hole and if they were threaded the screws would be huge. Do you recall if there's a threaded insert in those two posts?

edit: Got it to work. The lens holes were slightly offset to the post holes, so when using the right size screw, it took a bite into the post. May not be 'correct', but it worked very well. :cheers:
