speed bag swivel loose

[ftssjk]

hi guys.

so i went and got a speed bag swivel a few months ago.

looks like that,

anyway part of it screws off,

http://209.63.74.44/multimedia/ssp_images/sbc_equipment/swivel_link.JPG (like that but not the same design).

now only after a day of hitting the speed bag, the bottom half of it fell out of the upper casing (it screws in), the thread is very loose (to the point i can just push it in, instead of having to screw it in).

now the shop i bought it from won't help me, the ACCC won't help me as i don't have a receipt (it was $25 anyway), the company is based in the USA and won't help me as i'm out of area.

is there some sort of industrial strength super glue of some sort i can get from bunnings so i just put some in, screw it in and it'll stay for quite some time?

Are we talking about the grub screw which has the allen key in it? I don't know if loctite is the answer. If its thread is stripped, and if you are handy enough or know someone you can tap it the next size up and fit a larger grub screw. If its the main thread that screws into the mounting flange then thats a worry! Try thread tape or loctite but it sounds like its faulty and you have grounds for it to be replaced.

I'd do it for nix, but distance is a problem.

thats awfully nice of you, but i couldn't, it'll be too much of a burden.

i'm not to technial with these sort of words, so i had a look on google images.
i think it's the main thread into the mounting flange.

those little black specs are from the duct tape i was using,
but i didn't know there was a more technical tape for use.

i'll have a look for loctite, and some thread tape.

thanks!

If no joy with loctite etc, the quick way out is to take down the mount and have the two welded together!:oo:

Well, is there any need to unscrew to lower unit later?
