Actually, Roger, the assembly is welded together on the Midget (at least on
all the backing plates I have seen). You can get the little rectangular
pistons out OK, but the screw itself is in for the duration, being held
captive by the welded part. Maybe Abingdon was worried about vibration
loosening the bolts?
