Yeh, once I worked out it was just a press fit I had considerd drilling the post and fitting a roll pin but I havent ever had problems with slip before whenever I have used the 609 on a stud, bearing or sleeve, so I thought that was my easiest first option.

Should the problem ever return the roll pin would be the best permanent fix option or I could always get a threaded stud made up and tap the head out to take a thread.

Thanks again
