There are many ways around this relatively easy problem. Most lads,with a dabble of engineering ability,will have found their own method of overcoming,what is a fairly regular thing to encounter.
The peening,or tightening of the original tabs,is usually the easiest method.
If you are ---- enough (that's me...) and half handy with a grinder/MIG,a cracking little tool can be constructed,for just this task.
Get a 10mm ball bearing,and cut it in half,using a mini grinder,with a 1mm slitting disc. Get a mid sized set of vise grips,Aldi ones will do,and Mig spot the ball bearing halves,on to the tips of the grips,so both hemispherical profiles, meet. Dress the front aspects,with a grinder.
A squeeze with these,usually closes the original tapped tab,to either be re-tapped,or function without any further effort.
I was brought up,gunsmithing,on all types of firearms and air-rifles,and a basic part of this trade,is making your own tools,and making tools,to do a specific job.
It somewhat disappoints me,to see lads who have the science and maths of their trade sussed,have the people skills,the business acumen,the kit,the van,the advert.......and never find the need or want,to bring an upgrade in engineering aptitude,to the table.
Not aimed at anyone...just a rant...
Maybe i'm just bitter,coz i get the phone call to assist,from lazy pals,and off i go...buying grips in Aldi...and slicing ball-bearings :biggrinjester:
