Hi Steve-
If you're really "hung up" on originality, like I was, try this. I got my hands
on aircraft grade shouldered countersunk machine screws. Drilled proper size
through the hanger steel/rubber. I then installed the screw and a locking nut,
leaving a gap between the nut and the hanger. In the event of a failure, the
hanger can still separate, but it will not fail completely.
No need to use the fine thread aircraft hardware, these are throw aways anyway.
The only purpose of the screw/nut is to hold everything in place until the unit
is found to be faulty and ultimately replaced. In the interim, whatever the
usable life of the hanger is, it retains the stock appearance, albeit modified.
Good luck in whatever you choose.
Regards, Tom
