Did the same thing to my grub screw. What a nightmare eh! I too was too heavy handed on the tightening but what a joke. Such a massive cost for the SJ and yet no hint atall at how sensitive the change over of grub screw should be. My mate has the lock jack and cam change over looks alot easier and screws more solid looking.. Maybe they will make a SJ 2.2 to try rinse us of even more money. I sent mine back to HB who sent it back to ART Germany who re-threaded it. Job done. Cheers HB. Dont have to buy new SJ. And there are other threads of similar stories. So we're not the first.

I got mine from HB too, think I'll give them a call, would be great if ART sorted the thread out....did they charge you at all??...thanks for the heads up by the way

I stripped the threads on mine to. I used epoxy to glue mine back in after filling the part the grub screw holds to give it a key. Its not structural, hasn't moved and has since been lolered.

Look at the upside, just a better reason start full srt

I had same prob. Take the lever off and see if the grub screw will screw in without it. If it does what i did was file a flat spot on the pin of the lever so when the lever is in place you can screw the grub in a bit further than before. Just dont file too much of so it weakens it. Im gona tap mine out to next size up when i get round to it but that little mod has worked as good as new since i did it.
