okay, moving along on my 3rd magnet project for my TZ. Was on a great roll until I think I might have messed up. I installed the magnet. I drilled the opto holes in the stainless steel ball guides. Then I screw in the first opto using the screws that were provided in the Pinbits kit.
Looked good. Then I noticed the metal part of the pole from the magnet was pushed down about an 1/8th of an inch. Sure enough I drilled into the magnet and screwed into it as well. That is why it was pushed down. The screws clearly are long enough to go into the magnet.
See pix....
With all of this said, should I assume the magnet is trashed at this point? Can't really tell the damage. With that said though. Isn't a magnet just wound up copper? Is it possible it would still work?
Sigh...
In hindsight I would never have done this 3rd magnet project on TZ. Simply isn't worth it (IMHO).
