Hi, I've just bought a new 71 quad convertible and found that one of the fcs fin screws does not engage against the fin. That is, does not tighten and continues spinning.
It looks like the hole in the side of the fin base does not have thread, so was either stripped or drilled to large.
When the board was unpacked from shipping that screw had fallen out during transport, verified by shop where it was bought.
I'd like to know how this can be repaired and if anyone else has come across this situation.
Many thanks
Jaime
