[C320-list] Transmission/Teleflex cable woes

[Arthur Gates]

Russ,
In 1995 #182, the 4 bolts holding the compass base to the aluminum binacle
were a problem.  They had been locktighted on the bottom threads!  
Two came off with a large screw driver plus a large wrench on the square
driver shaft.
The other two required cutting off with a dremel tool once the bolt's
sloted head was stripped.
Edson sent me four 3.5" specially treated replacment bolts for $45 via
overnight del'y which turned out to take 3 days to arrive.  Then it turned
out to take 4" bolts which they didn't have but the local hdwe did in ss,
so I used anti-seeze grease on the threads.  I ret'd the 4 for credit to
Edson, but they would not credit the freight.
I have no input on the cables.
