I somehow managed to strip the plastic on the front body post of my Xray XB8 while screwing it in (I don't know how as I've been VERY careful). Anyone got any easy home remedy type fixes that I can do to help fix it so I can get the screw somewhat tight?

i put you an answer on xrays site...

So it'll still go in but it wont tighten?

You can either just pick up a new post or find a similar screw with a fatter thread pattern that will re-tap the threads in the post. This might work and again it might not. It will make it more secure but may not tighten all the way down. I've also heard of using CA glue to create a new mold and letting it dry with the screw inside. Haven't tried this myself so i really cant vouch for it but it might work. If its that big of a problem i'd jus tthrow down and pick up a new body post.

Is it possible to put a longer screw of teh same size in and put a lcoknut on the end? i havent got a XB8 so i cant be sure theres suffice clearance behind the post.
