8.10.4.3 Patch Method of Attaching Neck
Dam to Hinge Tab
a.) Using a sharp pair of scissors carefully cut out
a square from the neck dam over the hinge plate,
slightly smaller than the hinge plate itself.
b.) Visually inspect each screw prior to reuse, if any
abnormalities are present replacement is recom-
mended.
NOTE: KMDSI recommends use of a non-locking
thread locker such as Loctite
Vibra-Tite or equivalent in this application along
with the use of the star washers.
c.) Using the screws and the washers mount the rear
hinge tab on the neck clamp hinge tab mounting plate.
Ensure that none of the neoprene from the neck dam is
in between the tab and the tab mounting plate. Using
a torque screwdriver torque screws to 25 inch pounds.
NOTE: KMDSI recommends the employment of
Black Magic on the edges of the square cut out of
the neck-dam in step 12, to avoid any inadvertent
tearing or shredding of neck dam material.
12) Visually inspect the previously removed hinge
bolt and nut prior to reuse. If any abnormalities are
present or the nylon insert is worn, replacement is
recommended. Tighten the nut onto the bolt until
the end of the bolt protrudes past the nylon insert.
13) Adjust the neck clamp per the instructions in this
chapter..
