Broken tabs on a BX panel screen

[magnatic]

The top tabs on the panel screen on my '06 BX2350 are broken so the screen doesn't align or stay in place properly. The first screen did the same so it was replaced under warranty.
Do the new BX's have the same plastic tabs or are they made better. I'm not going to bother replacing the screen if it's just going to break again.
Thanks.

mine broke on the left side, I haven't replaced them ( I have the bx2350 too)
but I saw on the new machine that they have metal guides on the outside of the screen. I had my dealer order them ($8) and I bolted them on. They help hold the screen in place and I figured it was cheaper than a new screen.

A friend of mine has a newer BX24 that had the same metal brackets you speak of. Mine did not. I did the same thing vanb did and ordered them!!:thumbsup:

Here are two pictures of the metal brackets Deano is speaking of.

Thank you very much for the help.

huh! I dont have those metal tabs and mine havent been broken yet. I need to double check that on mine to make sure I have those tabs. I suspect it will hold screen in better. Do you guys have part number for that ?

On my BX the deck cracked (warranty) and where the orange cowling is held down by the thumbscrews cracked and the tabs broke off. This was on a BX2350. I can see where it could happen as it takes 3 hands and the help of a circus monkey to get everything lined up and tightened down.

I have a trained monkey on retainer from when I had to remove FEL from our CX80 and MF375, so I have fully intact tabs on our BX2200 and 2660.:thumbsup:

The problem i am having is the gasket on the bottom of the screen is split or torn off on 2 of my 3 BXs.
Anyone know if there is replacement gaskets available for these screens?
