Pre-load slots .

If you have ever adjusted your front preload there is a good chance the screw-driver slots are messed up like mine or worse .


If you carefully file a chamfer on the slot it gets rid of the crap edge and matches nicely to the rest of the area .Polish by hand.

While i was in the area i removed those 4 plastic caps and polished the top of the allen heads .Matches the filler cap .I know ,been done .


Which of cause leaves 4 caps to use .



And a spare .

Try a 10 / 20c coin on the preload adjusters. It saves messing them up in the first place with a crap fitting screw driver

Just went down the shed and checked. 10c piece with pliers if you are a girly man and it hurts your fingers

Now you tell me .

The reason I found this is because my Davey transfer pump has a similar screw arrangement to top it up if it runs dry where a 20c piece fits perfectly

do you has a image or photo of this chamfer thingy gus ? these preload adjusters have been buggin me for ages!
I wouldn't mine cleaning them up on the weekend

My adjusters stick out a shit load more then that. I haven't touched them. There just the way it came from the shop.
