Event Description
|
This spigot is placed on the cone of an exeter stem to be able to fix the stem at the stem introducer.It seems like the spigot is too big, it has problems to get into the stem inserter, which gives the spigot a twist and then it is not able to get into the stem inserter.The spigot is only to place the stem at the stem inserter, afterwards it is going to be thrown away, but it is quite hard to fix the stem in the stem inserter when the spigot is broken/twisted.
