PS don't be modding the other screws just fix what happed and move along get a new screen
Aluminum won't stick to a magnet, non-ferrous metal.

[QUOTE=Dr.Hess;16647171]Most of us in the Evo section use non-synthetic (AKA "dino") 20W50. I would guess that most use the genuine H.D. non-synthetic 20W50, then next comes about any other non-synthetic 20W50 and last is full synthetic 20W50.
[QUOTE]


Some of us use 25w-60 in our Evos.

Ther's always Helicopter Tape. That's the stuff they patch up the helicopters with after the sand people shoot holes in them for us.

And don't forget Red Hand. That stuff was what held the US Merchant Marine fleet together. Got a hole in the hull? Get the Red Hand out.

Got more info or an NSN on the helo tape? Only hits I see for "helicopter tape" are 3M polyurethane tape but I've never seen that used for aircraft BDR. I was USAF though. Is is tougher than the old aluminum tape?

I've never used Red Hand but now I'm curious:

Maybe they called it "100 mile an hour tape." I read about the stuff, never used it. I did use Red Hand, though. Seriously, it held the USMM fleet together. Sinking? Shift the ballast around some to get that part out of the water, slather some Red Hand on it, it'll be just fine. The stuff wasn't cheap though. I seem to recall it at was about a hundred bucks for the two quart cans.
