Hello Bruno,
This is usually solved by a product called 'Loctite' Get the blue formula. A drop of this liquid on the threads, tighten to where you like it and let it set a day, should solve your problem. - Terry

This seems to be a dealer in France.

The original arms used a leather washer (faucet washer) if you can find one of these-then use the loctite that is not so strong in case you ever want to dissemble it.

unfortunately,my problem wasn't solve by Loctite,or all the type of washer,the screw itself under the arm is moving in the hole in the arm,there's a factory fail,so I'll see what to do.
thanx

Contact Bob Shade at Hallmark Guitars. His link is in the Links of Interest section here on the forum. He sells vibrato Hallmark Custom 60 arms that have been used to upgrade the flimsy arms on Japanese Mosrite guitars.

Not sure what kind of tools you have around. If the threads are stripped, you can fill the hole with some sort of epoxy (like J-B Weld), then drill and re-tap the hole.
