Re: star adjuster tab broken
Good question. I haven't yet. Seems like I have at least one broken one.

Re: star adjuster tab broken
Some have repaired them with a little screw drilled into the anchor block if the spring steel is still present.
You can replace the whole backing plate, since it seems to still be available.

Re: star adjuster tab broken
the idea of screwing a 6-32 bolt through the adjuster block got 6.32 minutes of time. then i bought my first ever tubes of jb weld. big vice grips and small piece of usps cardboard as a dressing so the wrench didn't stick to the new widget of found banding metal. i gave the "weld" 24 hours. backing plates make the all-star pick-up list. next time you overnight, neal, we can get this done.
