i had my screws siezed in the back from the previous owner on mine. Had to drill them out with a drill, which then left me a hole that was a bit too big. I fixed mine by inserting those plastic screw plugs that you put in holes on brick walls, then just screwed a scew into that. Find one that fits in your hole and a screw a screw into that. First image i could fine… ![http://www.tool-catalogue.co.uk/images/69041_HW11.jpg](http://www.tool-catalogue.co.uk/images/69041_HW11.jpg) ---
