I have 2 drum cage locking screws. One is used to fasten the tangs to the drum. The shorter one is used to fasten and secure the tang on the upper assembly(halyard).
We just finished a trans Pacific trip to Australia. On the Tuamotos to Tahiti passage both of the longer screws backed out and left us with a loose system. I ordered some replacements
when we got to Tahiti and a few spares. The price was right at $28.00 each. They might be made of titanium. I believe there are 2 fasteners for each tang and 1 fastener for the upper halyard drum fitting. Our profurl system was a NC42. These fasteners will also fit a lot of other Profurl rigs. The NCI 42, LCI 42, and LC 42. Probably more. The profurl part number is P035013. It is good to have spares for these parts! Even lock tite doesn't always secure them.
Sorry, I will not be able to get these out before July13th. Thanks.

One-off 1990 Corvette ZR-1 Spyder saved from sinkhole; video shows extraction
Tue, 01 Apr 2014You'll have to excuse the National Corvette Museum's timing -- museum staff are excited to report that a one-off 1990 Corvette ZR-1 Spyder has just been pulled from the sinkhole that opened up beneath the show floor in February, and they want you to know that this isn't some sort of cruel April 1 hoax. Don't believe us? Just watch the video below There hasn't been much headline-making news out of the Corvette museum since the 1 millionth Corvette built was saved from the sarlacc pit in early March, bringing the number of cars returned to ground level to five.
