Re: screw of metal rod on upper joint of B12 and E13

If you mean the rod screw for the LH index finger ring key (LH1 ring key) then this screw is never fitted correctly, so it often backs out as it's never possible to get it nice and tight (but not over torqued) to keep it locked in place like any other rod screw.

Basically they haven't bothered to sufficiently countersink the end of the LH2 ring key rod which will result in that ring key binding up solid when the rod screw is tightened - it's left loose simply to allow the LH2 ring key to function.

I find I have to fit this rod screw on every Buffet I work on, along with loads of other things they can't even be arsed to do properly at the factory.
