Stupid screws?

[Benjab]

Hey i just sttted building my madrat kit but i have some huge problems with the screws. I cant tighten them all the way. Ive tried all my allen wrenches and hex drivers but they are just spinning around inside the screws.


Have you had any problems like this?

Hmm i think its only a problem with the 4 screws in the front bumper. I just dont know how to tighten them

Mad Rat kit screws are pretty bad, I found that over time I rounded off a lot of them and the only way to get them out was to dremmel a slot into them. These days I've upgraded the screws on the entire car with stainless steel and where possible use cap heads as these use a 2.5mm key instead of 2mm - helps no end and takes all the stress out of needing to replace bits and not being able to get the screws out.
