Default Vortec Assembly

i have just taken my mp20 apart to cean it and now the nylon screw is stripped.... just po'd right now.... guessing i am going to have order one right from the supplier????

This is the screw that holds the impeller tight to the rotating magnet...... just weak.

I could have sworn I came across a canadian site that had all replacement parts available just like the ecotech store does but I cannot find it now. If anyone knows the one let me know. Would save some shipping time getting one from Canada instead of the US.

I have the screw from a gen 1 wetside (not nylon) you could have/borrow until you track down a new one if that would help you.

thanks but the wet side is in fine shape its just the nylon screw and nut that need to be replaced. it wont hold tight as the threads are stripped............. i would think it to be less than $10

Any chance you can find those at home depot? I got a couple replacement nuts and screws for my easyblade and they had a wide range of sizes (not sure if it would work for an impeller assembly though but just a thought).
