The threads are great no problem.
One person mentioned using a fille to rough up the surfaces. This did
help. I used the roughest stone iin my Dremel kit. Now it doesn't break
my shinbone it just cuts the skin.
It's a shame Moss doesn't provide the parts for this. But then I guess
most people don't have the problem or they ignore the problem. For me it
is a big problem since I drive the car most every day..................
