It wasn't without its fraught moments, one of the tiny screws flew off into the Bermuda triangle which sits in my workshop, happily I have a wide selection of small sized screws and managed to find one that fitted, not without a certain amount of muttering. I feared that it would need to be drilled and tapped to a BA size - I've lots of those from 12 - 0 in size.
Glad to hear it. As for the screw, if you walk around in bare feet you WILL find it.
