Paul S Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Just hypothetically, I wonder if it might have been possible to resin the strap lock button onto the screw then turn the button like a giant screw head? Don't know if resin glues are strong enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
