Hi,
After having lost the bottom part of my T32 due to using the BG2 (and to make
it worse: with an omnibounce reflector) a couple of times, I have glued it to
the flash body with epoxy glue. I unscrewed the bottom part and made sure that
extra glue came into the holes where the 4 tiny screws go. That did the job. No
problems any more.
