Screwed up
Is there a better solution for attaching the rotor to the camshaft extension? My 3mm Allen screw was stripped. Got it out but want to replace with something that wont strip next time. Clark (of Clarks Garage) claims to have seen many of these little menaces stripped.

If you read clarks-garage, you know...
"Removing the Rotor 1. To remove the rotor, you'll need a 1/8" or 3 mm hex key. Try the 1/8" first and if that's too big, next try the 3 mm. If it's the original screw and you try the 3 mm first, you'll likely strip the head on the screw. The original screws are slightly larger than 3 mm and they are loctited from the factory. I can't begin to tell you how many of those I've seen stripped using a 3 mm hex key. Anyway, if the 1/8" doesn't fit and the 3 mm does, it's probably been replaced in the past (because it was stripped). " It's NOT 3mm... it's (originally) 1/8''. and loc-tited to boot. 1/8'' ftw.
