Funny you should mention that, Phil.

I've recently been looking into this problem when I worked on my HW35 fitted with a TX latchrod and firmly believe it is a manufacturing fault --- there is also a very simple DIY cure using a Dremmel.

I'll try to get some pictures taken of how to cure the problem and post them later.
