Well after a bunch of great suggestions, and I might add a bit of a session of being sent to the corner for being a bad boy for posting this on the carousel, which I promptly removed. I found a very easy fix, if only Lang had got back with me I’M SURE THEY WOULD HAVE TOLD ME THE SAME THING. I don’t have a torch, but I do have a small bottle of MAPP gas. All I did was heat the bolts up red hot & hit them with a hammer. It mushroomed them perfectly, now my dampers work like new. Wait till you see the log lighter I installed. That will be in a different thread. Once again thank you all for your suggestions, but I’m sure you know you wake up in the middle of the night with the answer to your problem & since I’m old I have to write it down so I remember it in the morning. Anyhow July 4th BBQ will be just great without the screwdriver hack. Happy 4th to all of you & I know I haven’t been on here much, but I do check in a couple of times a day, and I hope to be on here more from now on.
