In an effort to get "Big Ugly's" water ballast system working
correctly I was hoping one of you might have the dump adjustment screw from the ballast rocker. I only need one and prefer not to spend 500 Euros on a service contract. This is for an LS-3a, but they are the same on many LS's and I beleive a few other manufacturers. Anybody got a junk glider sitting around?

If not, you can get your local TIG welder to make it up from a 6mm bolt and flat washer for his minimum rate. Cheers, JJ |

Cheers, JJ Thanks for checking JJ.....I had the welder plugged in and ready to go, but at the last minute thought that there had to be someone with an original laying around! Let me know if you run across any other worthwhile -3 parts......maybe I can make the effort in the barn a little more worth your time. Let me know, and thanks in advance, Bryce |
