Phil,

A slight angle either way shouldn' t matter too much (assume we are talking about the vertical angle). Only way to fix is to bend the plate.

Medium line will be easier to get on and off without splitting.

The muffler itself is threaded not the head, so you should need to worry too much. Going home tonight, will try and remember to dig out some LA46 spares I have kicking around.

Hope the weather holds out so you get some flying tomorrow.
