[QUOTE="Bill16, post: 176117, member: 15356"] I just read through the thread/question and answer session the link went to, and it seems to be a simple enough fix if this is the same issue as yours is having. It's also a small design flaw which a simple alteration of their design should solve cheaply. There is a pin at the end of the lock bolt, and whenever the lock bolt is loosened up too far the pin can fall out into the works leaving you unable to lock the ball down. So to fix this, you get the pin out and then put the head back together inserting the pin in the place it belongs and screw in the lock bolt till you've locked it. Then be very careful not to loosen more than needed to adjust the head before locking it down again. I hope this is the issue and you can fix it. :) [/QUOTE]
