Thank you so much for the video, do the screws have any movement? Or is it all solid and stable? I assume with time it’ll loosen up but changing screws might fix that, this video helped clarify so much!! I especially love the vice clamp method I will definitely keep that in mind since it seems better than having to unscrew and screw things back, tho nothing with constant pressure should rely on it I assume it’ll end up becoming too loose to hold on tight
The metal Tek's work great. Like any fastener, they will only be as good as their installation. As long as the thread both on the screw and in the frame are not compromised, they'll do their thing forever. Important not to over cook them when driving them in. I experience no movement whatsoever using them on any of the components they hold. I guess after many years of use, the vice clamp may fail and the same could be said about any component. The vice clamp is an excellent mod for the shift/throttle mount. It is rock solid when locked. I simply sanded/roughed the vice clamp pad that engages to the top frame when locked and added a dab of hot glue for a pad. As I said, works great and has zero movement. I've used vice clamps for over 30 yrs and they rarely wear out unless abused, so expecting a long service life from that setup. Keep in mind their tension (locking force) is adjustable. They can loosen with vibration when unlocked and if they do, you simply retighten the tension mechanism.
