Fixing Trigger Post

[Nova316]

Hey,
I broke my gearboxes trigger post a little while back and wanted to figure out how to fix it before I went an bought a new one. So i found a solution or atleast I hope it'll work ill update u guys when it stops working.
1. Grind off whatever is left of the post
2. Tap a small dent into middle of the old trigger post location
3. Use a 1/16 drill bit and drill a small hole through the gearbox
4. Use a bigger drillbit to creat a small hole on the other side so you are able to set the screw so it doesnt get in the way of the selectorplate
5. Tap the 1/16 hole and screw in a brass screw with red threadlock
6. Cover the edges with solder

This is the finished product
If anyone has any different approaches or ideas or changes please let me know

thats how i fixed mine. worked perfect... i didnt solder it though. just locktite then ground down the exterior so it was flush for the fire selector plate.

I've done it a few times, I drilled and tapped for a #4-40 set screw, works every time. No need to heat up the "soldiering" iron. Lol
