Seems like every one of these threads, all over the place, in which people complain about cvd pins working their way out - almost always can be pinpointed to a routine lack of maintenance or lack of checking over the car prior to running and/or the lack of proper cvd building as per the mark christopher link ^^^ (which it seems should be common sense), or that nobody knows what threadlock is. |
It might be a rare happening, but if you don't use something besides threadlock and grub screws the pin might in the end still come out - with disastrous results.
Regular maintenance and checks do help, but on my TRF201 I had these pins come out halfway in the first 5 minutes of a trackday I went to recently. If it happened on your DEX410 might be enough to start eating into the case of your battery?
In the case of my TRF201 it just means I had to pull over or I'd lose the pin - which is not widely available.
To solve it, I fitted some heatshrink around it and I didn't have the problem the rest of the day. It seems like quite a cheap solution to a problem that can grow to massive proportions in the wrong circumstances.
