Ares efcs motor grip screw plate thingy.

[LazzurusMan]

Sooooo I sold my amazing custom ares mutantnto my brother so I could switch to hpa and buy a tippman (god I love it) aaaaaaand he broke the motor grip. As in the screws ate the threads off the plate that holds it to the gearbox. He has since tried to loctite/super glue them back in, to no avail.

 

Does anyone know where I can buy another of these plates? Or is it a case of taking it to a fabricator and paying well mote than its worth to have a new plate custom made and tapped with four new screws?

Email cs@aresairsoft.com with the part number from the exploded diagram.  I have found them to be rather helpful if they have the part available.

I can't find an exploded diagram of the gearbox, so I haven't got a clue what the part number would be.

I'm gonna try and use 4 different screws and 4 nuts instead, as I don't think the plate itself holds anything in place that the 4 nuts wouldn't also hold if tightened correctly.

Email them with the gun’s name and a photo of the part.
