Sharon, So with this new screw, you can get that hoop to tighten enough? I was so thrilled to get the largest hoop without having to change the arms. But I was very disappointed as it does not hoop worth a darn on its own. I added several layers of vet wrap and then polymesh backing around that. Thanks for the tip.
