Rocky thread slop and the teflon tape fix

[MagicHipple]

I have a new one on the way, and I've been reading about the thread slop on the burr threads, and the teflon tape fix. Has anyone done this? I'd love to hear some feedback before I start tearing it apart........thanks.

I Teflon-taped Rocky's top burr carrier ~ 3 years ago, and have replaced the tape once. My experience is only one "not data" point. Before taping, Rocky's hopper wobbled slightly while grinding. After putting 3 wraps of Teflon tape on the upper burr carrier, there was no visible wobble. The tape has clearly taken up slop in the threads. I think it has helped the consistency of my shots, but with all the other changes I have made to my setup, who knows?

I Googled for one of the earlier threads on which Teflon taping Rocky was discussed on AC -- interesting reading for a Rocky owner considering this mod.
