What if anything holds your washers to your chassis on a Mark IV? When I was swapping into the combo cabinet I accidentally knocked one of the washers loose and had a hell of a time aligning the SUS-4 mounting. It was akin to your first time in the dark as a teenager. I kept missing then the thing kept slipping off etc. I finally managed to get it to go with the washer in its proper place but it took at least a half an hour of juggling. I may have had more luck using feeler gauges to manipulate the washer but none were handy. This would have taken me to walk outside to the toolbox (**** I am lazy). Luckily the amp had no patience to try or I might not have ever gotten in on (I'd have been damned before I would have walked out there).
So has anyone else experienced one of the chassis washers coming loose and if so what did you use to fasten it back to the chassis? With the head cabinet it was not an issue, believe me, I tried to put it back in the head cabinet and it wasn't a problem because you could align it lowered. In the SUS-4 mount it doesn't give you as much room to play. I fear having to put the chassis back in before reattaching the washer.
I am assuming that the washer provides grounding from the shielding to the chassis so I didn't want to put anything in there that would be non-conductive. This is why I am asking before I just use some simple silicone or hot glue. I had thought of soldering it in place but I don't want to ground it if there is supposed to be some isolation there. If it requires a non-conductive adhesive I thought maybe replacing all the washers with plastic washers and siliconing them in place might alleviate the future problem. If it doesn't matter I was thinking that double sided scotch tape would work pretty well also. The only reason why I was thinking that it might be a grounding issue is because the SUS-4 has some copper springlike fingers/conductors that stick down that hit the top of your chassis from the shielded area of the underside of the top of the cabinet.
Please tell me I am not the only one who has ever had this happen to them and the solution with any information regarding the conductivity of the adhesive if there ever was any.
Is it possible to remove the chassis washers and mount your amp in the cabinet without them? I think this might be the simplest of solutions if the washers are not necessary.
