I need advice on how to insert an image please. I have not used this Taifun yet because I cannot insert the cap sleeve. I had a lot of trouble removing it and now it won't go back. Also the positive and negative posts are not aligned. Not only have I not tried it yet I am not sure that I trust it. http://imgur.com/RvVRJ3F Edited on 4/25/2016 at 11:27 AM. Reason: Working...

panny2406 Member JoinedMar 2016 Posts 13 Reviews 3 Kudos6	Thank you for your reply vitrolles. I have tried what you suggested. There is one long screw and one shorter screw. The tubes also seem to be one longer and the other shorter. The trouble is I cannot get the longer tube out and if I put the shorter screw in this tube, the screw does not secure, it just keeps turning. There is also a white plastic piece that I think has come from this area but I'll be damned if I can fathom out or connect it anywhere. It seems to be made of the same material that is put into the airflow hole in order to reduce it but it is shorter and has a wider circumference (5mm x 3.5mm approx). The strange thing is, when the longer screw is secured in its tube it's the one that is shortest on the deck. Working...

panny2406 Member JoinedMar 2016 Posts 13 Reviews 3 Kudos6	Thank you MichelArgouet - a brilliant diagram which has help me understand more. I now know what is causing the misaligned posts but don't know how to cure it. I can push the positive tube up from the bottom so that it is level with the other post. However, when I turn the screw down to secure it the tube goes down also and part of the tube comes out the bottom. As you can see in the pictures: I still have the second problem in that I cannot push the cap sleeve down but first things first. Edited on 4/25/2016 at 2:13 PM. Reason: Working...
