The polisher strikes again :)

So I take console off, easy enough but didn't like the already rounded self tappers,,,, some people can't put a fking screw in properly,,, then Allen key is a sloppy fit in gear knob,,,,yes some crap tools man has rounded the grub screw off, nice!!!!
Not me I can promise, I could tell instantly by the feel of it,,,
So now I have little choice but drill it out, angle drill maybe but a right tight fit if at all,,,,
As soon as I lifted the rear pocket piece out and saw them screws with rounded pozi heads I feared the worst,
Years of window fixing taught me it's better to fk the rounded screw off before it's stuck fast,,,
It takes skill to put a screw in and not knacker it as you do it,,, gets me st like this,,,,,

See on here you meet chaps with skills coming out the pours of their skin, yet it's some complete wker who's got his hands on my car,, I do wonder sometimes I tell ya,,, basics for fecksake.
I'm going to struggle to get a drill down to it,I can see me going in at an angle, opening up hole and having to go larger tap size, does the grub fit into a groove on the shaft?

This CabSav is bloody lovely, might have to open another one
Well we've been racing for years and still got the set up wrong on Sunday, hard shocks,, tracks soaking, brainless! This CabSav is bloody lovely, might have to open another one
I did say it was to wet in the holding area but who am I.

Alun,Take the door opener unit off - it's only 2 cables, a loom and some self tappers.
Then you could most probably polish your knob without removing it!
The amount of time it took you to vent your spleen on here, with a bit of lateral thinking, you could have had it done.
That is probably the reason the grub screw was rounded off in the first place.
Haha, I do go on,,, cheers Ged I was thinking on those lines, I have the corrct set of Allen keys it's just rounded off, I didn't get any purchase on the grub screw at all,,
I can't really see why the console would have been taken off in the past but someone's been at it!
I have 4 countersinc screws into a flat plate,,, work that one out?
I'm busy over the next few days but I'll update when I have chance to have another play,,,
