Default TAM rebuild problem

Nothing's gone wrong with my car for two weeks so I thought I'd rebuild the TAM (Translational Accelerometer Module).
AS you see from the attached I have a spare CSC (Central Spheroidal Component) but, for the life of me I can't seem to work out how to get a grip on the retaining arms.

Can anyone help ?

Use your portable quantum singularity to distort the local frame of reference, then it will fit right in.

It's fully assembled and has parts left over. Sounds like most of my repair work. The simple mathematical equation is Pr=AoA(squared), where Pr= parts remaining and A0A= amount of anxiety.

It is believed that is the universe's counter to missing socks in the drier, but has yet to be proven.

You might be able to pick one up at the Tevatron rummage sale but shipping across the pond may be prohibitive.

I see the problem. You failed to convert from bushels/lightyear into cubits/radian. And don't forget to maintain your significant digits through your calculations.

Can you expand a bit here - I have my torque wrench calibrated in cubits per mermidon but it just keeps slipping off into another dimension.

Or as it is a translation related problem, you need to book a consultation with Translator

I believe you're failing to recognize what comes simply to an experienced tradesman: Excess parts are to be saved until enough are available to construct another unit.

You're welcome!

You have simply distorted your dimensions. A quick blast with a Transmogrifier should restore normality.
