(Ed. note...FEBRUARY 2008....With great sadness I report to you that our Canadian friend and builder, Mr. Marv Miller has unexpectedly passed away. Marv was responsible for the design and the build of the limited edition drop arm chassis we planned to offer in Spring 2008.... He was also the designer of the Miller Guide Flag system as well as our Black Magic Motor. We do not have any inventory of these parts and there are no plans to have them remade...Please accept my apologies. Marv was a very good friend, and a true HO slot enthusiast. He will be missed.)

Miller Guide Flag saver...

What to do when your mushroom cap weight no longer fits securely to the post of your guide flag....

PARTS / TOOLS REQUIRED:

#11 xacto blade/knife or fiskars sprue cutters
1-72 tap drill
1-72 tap
1-72 flat head screw-length of threaded shaft-.2415" / total length-.275"
blue threadlocker
small slotted screwdriver

PROCEDURES

-Remove guide flag post at base with xacto knife or fiskars sprue cutters
-Carefully drill down approx. 1/16" into base with the 1-72 tap drill
-Carefully tap out hole with 1-72 tap
-slide 1-72 screw ( t jet rear body screw will fit) through mushroom cap
-apply a very small amount of blue threadlocker into hole you have drilled
-carefully, without overtightening or hurting threads, screw into base of flag, through chassis mount
-allow threadlocker to set...

This can save having to replace an expensive braided flag (the only way to go) and a mushroom weight (very much an asset)!
