The fixing point hardware of the work arms on the Fly / Pectoral Fly (SS-FLY, OP-FLY, HS-FLY, HS-PEC) could come loose over time.
Description

- If the work arm you are exchanging or replacing has the older S Trim grip, pre Oct 01, 2024, order an additional S Trim grip, caps and set screws, so the work arms / unit has matching grips.
