Downtube Torx Screw - One of these screws is doin' it's own thing...
Anyone know if the Torx screw on the right side of the right downtube (mine's a 2006 MCS, not sure if they differ by model) should be a T-25 or a T-30 size screw? Another way to compare is: Is this screw the same size as the screws in your door?
I had some work done and since then the right downtube squeaks a bit, and is very loose (the cause of the crackling). I found that all the screws in the interior (doors, other downtube, etc) are size T-30's - all the same - but on the right side of my right downtube my screw is a T-25. And I can't tighten it - it just spins and spins and spins. And, it's slightly bent. Anyway, wondering if I should get a T-30 to replace it, or if that T-25 is the right side but something else is going on...anyone noticed this, know it, or has taken a look lately?
Thanks!
