Whats that pointy bar thing...

Don't have one of them on my K5 so you have to use the holes that the nuts came out of

I knew there was a reason pointy's were inferior, I've just found it!

You're all wrong, on the pointies the tank prop has a large, plastic coated, ring on one end, (if your's doesn't, you've got the wrong one), this fits neatly around the stem top nut, not in any holes.

Yep - that's how I do it!

Thank goodness Sid Squid turned up and clarified that. I was scratching my head trying to work out what holes they were trying to wedge the ring into.

What's wrong with a bit of 2x1 timber

I guess that's what you get for "assuming" that he was talking about the "better" curvy model.
