Picked up a brass button cover for my grand, but not sure exactly how to make it work. Package came with the button, and a piece of thread. When I put just the button on its loose, cant even move out of locked position. Probable something very simple I am missing, help?

Place the piece of string over the top of the firing button then push the brass button on. Should make the brass button nice and snug.
Lay the string across the top of the button, press the cover on. Should work after that
Great advice above, but what I would do is....
Just lay the string across the firing button and then press the button cover on. LOL.

I think we should send out a memo, don't you? If you don't think so then I think it should go to the committee for consideration. We'll have to wait as 4 of our members are out of the country consulting. Without those members we don't have a quorum thus any decisions are not binding. The bylaws do state that other persons can be brought in to fill in temporary if this situation should arise. This can be decided in our next meeting. Lets send out a memo considering when our next meeting should take place. I'll bring the donuts. Jelly, creme filled..anyone?
Tie the string around your finger to remind you to lay it across the firing button before you press the cover on. Good advice on having it in the locked position.
Taketh the string and thou shalt layeth it across the button of firing. Then thou shall presseth thy holy brass button of grand firing firmly in placeth. (Done in the tone of Monty Python's Holy Grail scene of the "holy handgranade")

I have 2 button covers coming in the mail. USPS said they should have arrived on Monday, but they didn't. They didn't arrive Tuesday either. The mail isn't here yet today. Can someone do something about this? I want to be able to ask how to install them, but I can't, since I don't have them. I hope I can remember the installation procedure.
Hold your mail person down and tickle them until they give up the stolen buttons.

Okay. With the string? I don't think I need the string since my REOs are old.
I have the buttons on all my REOs and never needed the string, although I did insert a small piece of tubing inside a few of them so they wouldn't slide on too far and prevent firing.
My metal button cover didn't come with a string... I searched the box and baggies for it, but there was no string to be found. It seems to fit just fine without it though.
I'd like Bavarian Cream filled, please. I can pick up bagels, cream cheese and lox on the way in if you'd like?
Oh, and in case no one has mentioned it yet - lay the thread across your firing pin, in the locked position, and place brass button over that, trim it up and you should be good to go.
I know how slow the folks around here can be about answering questions, so I didn't want to keep you waiting much longer.
