Re: looking for some nuts

[William Lippe <lippe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

	Actually those screws are nails with slots in the head, just pull 
them out, albeit slowly and evenly.  There are a million things you can 
do to tighten the fit.. glue, new nails, wood screws..  any shim that's 
small enough...
	If you want to invest the time and effort it takes, you can get 
hex bolts, or even torx bolts.  These won't strip, and you can carry the 
little allen (sp) wrench around in your wallet.  A square bolt of a 
little larger size will brace itself against the coverplate better.
