I seem to recall that one of the RK05 manuals warned that when re-fitting said screws you should always put them in, turn them anticlockwise until the threads engage and then tighten them clockwise. Just screwing them in not only risks (as ever) stripping the thread in the plastic housing, but also the action of cutting the new thread may cause bits of plastic to break loose and they might (will!) end up where they shouldn't -tony
