How to fix a rattling tuner?

[petergales]

The 'elephant ear' part on one of the tuners on my Classic Vibe Jazz has started rattling. I've tried to nip it up with pliers but with only limited success.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is it a write off? If so where can I buy a single replacement that will match the other tuners?

I've put a post in the "Items Wanted" section as it would seem that the only option from a supplier is to buy a set of four.

Hope someone can help

Kind regards

I've had that before and just wicked a little thin superglue into the joint which fixed it.

Done the same a few times and it's always worked well.

Good luck with it.

Thanks Gary.

I'd say that was your best bet too, as even on here, you'd be lucky to grab a single tuner to match yours

Tried the super glue and it worked a treat, thanks.

Thanks for all the advice. Basschat comes up trumps again!
