Title: Octal Socket Missing a Lug
Post by: Incendie on November 04, 2018, 04:57:11 AM

While building the Crack, I noticed that my octal socket is missing a lug. Does anybody have a suggestion on a workaround or perhaps a part number so I can look for a replacement?

It is remotely possible for a metal pin to get twisted enough that it can fall out of a socket, though you are the first to have this problem as far as I can remember (and the octal sockets have been going into BH kits since the 90s).  I would recommend looking around in the packaging to see if the socket pin is still with the hardware, but otherwise you can contact replacementparts(at)bottlehead(dot)com to request a replacement.  Please include your personal information so we can look up your order.
