Gator Wing Adjustors

[Troy A. Newman]

Jerry,

If the wings are set to the proper location for incidence I stick a little 
silicone RTV in the mechanism of the adjuster. Then stick the wings on and 
let it cure over night. This will keep the screws from moving back and forth 
in the metal frame causing it to wear. When you wiggle the pin look at the 
top and bottom of the metal frame and you can see the slop. If its bad I 
would say replace. If its just a smidge then stick some silicone in there. 
It doesn't take much as silicone is heavy. Also a small amount can be pulled 
off and adjustments made. But if you really lock it up tight it will be very 
difficult to remove if you need to adjust later on.
