ABC hardware has a glue with their name that looks very similar, however knowing that Loctite is excellent I ordered it through Amazon at a very good price.<br />2. The cleaning of the surface is key. I used brake cleaning fluid (you can get it in any autopart store), removes grease, drys pretty fast and leaves no residue. Alcohol is OK but not as good. I used a cotton tip to do the work<br />3. I did all the work with a Dremel with a cut off wheel. You can do the groove and the notch with one of the small grinding bits. <br />4. Have in front of you the mounting plate so you can use it to test it as you mold it. I had the k-edge that requires only one notch. <br /><br />The edge 500 now looks and works great. Thanks again Fast Freddy, you save me $250. I would have never had the present one fix it for $90 and no extended warranty, I would have bought a new one and have one year warranty. BTW this is the second broken (the first was covered by the warranty). Great computer with a major flaw that Fast Freddy has helped us to solve.<br /><br />-=terry=- Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1493658530313478624.post-31642202349335689582013-03-23T17:47:01.546-07:002013-03-23T17:47:01.546-07:00I would like to know from Fast Freddy how the orig...I would like to know from Fast Freddy how the original repaired unit is holding up.plevanatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01198875430992895620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1493658530313478624.post-82099262838573555172013-01-26T14:47:31.947-08:002013-01-26T14:47:31.947-08:00Nice post.
