    Minima drill mounts

    I'm considering bringing in Minima as a drill mount line. I think Silhouette is tired and their rep is horrible. I am wary of the nuts coming loose and the hassle to customers with constant tightening. Does anyone have any experience with Minima and how to keep the screws tight?

    Thanks,
    Kenneth

    Minimas are great mountings. Use hi index, Trivex and stay away from poly, and you can use the proper Loctite on the cap nuts. The older, classic mountings are the best. I still have several out there for years with CR39 lenses. No prob.

    I am not sure on Minima (almost bought them but never did) but if you use diamond tip hole bore tool on the drill holes just a little bit to take the edge off and use the proper washers then drill mounts should hold tight.
