So if you absolutely cannot get them to stay put, just get new ones.

Thanks. All set.
Except now I find that five out of the six screw holes need to be tapped, after Langcourt worked their magic. I sure do wish I checked that while the jug was off the bike.
I'll have to tape off all the orafices, and add another tap to my collection. I'm not liking the idea of tapping chrome out of aluminum threads. Ugh.
A brief stop at the pub might be in order, just to cool off a little. Since I have to go downtown anyway.
