new egg2 shells

[rikkter]

argh, not happy. at first my battery prongs on my shells broke. so i bought new ones, and could only buy clear(needed some soon as possible)
so. i get them. go to put it together. and none of the ends where the screw goes into are threaded. so i have to line them up straight as possible., and thread them with the screws.
now the lid, same issue with those screws. but now the lid wont even latch tightly, and i took the springs out because i found them useless(now i wish i ddin't - dont know where they are)

has anyone else run into these problems? preferably the holes now being threaded and such?
and does anyone have a remedy for the lid to latch tighter that is more efficient than the tape method?

Hmmmmm I havnt heard of any problems like that. I actually wish my wouldn't latch so titly.

I'm with Bob. But a ghetto latch might be to put duct tape over the latch bump in the body. That way the lid might have more friction in there and less space.. so it may latch tigher. But look ugly.

I need one of those plastic spacers for the battery area of an Egg...and i can't find any place that sells them...oh well...

Bunny, if you pick up some Duracell batteries you won't need the spacer.

use cardboard, i just matched the spacer to a box that came in a game, and it was actually the same thickness



sponge:
at first mine use to latch too tightly, hence me taking the springs out.
this just bites tho, i dont want to use any sort of tape. my mom's BF suggested we try to fix it with some hot glue, which sounded like a interesting idea.
if that doesn't work, i'm just going to buy another lid and hopefully that'll fix it.

You can also use a piece of a cd case, just cut it down.
