Hi all,

Has anyone with a BGE had trouble during assembly whereby when the lid is
lifted and then closed it doesn't sit properly ie there is a gap between top
and bottom of the egg on the hinge side.

I thought it may have been that I didn't tighten the bands enough so I
tightened them up further - only problem is I went too far and stripped the
thread. Trying to undo it a touch resulted in the bolt snapping. So my
good wife is currently at the hardware store getting another one (maybe 2).

Any help would be appreciated. (I'll be posting this on the BGE Forum as
well.)

People familiar with the term RTFM can ignore my original post.
