So, I just got a blue mastertouch and unfortunatly the ash sweep is roached so I have an issue as that ash sweet is key to keeping the bucket on.  I know there are mods to solve this but I hate them (just my 2 cents). 
Anyway, for those how are CL browser, I know the older early 2000 OTS had those ash sweep on them, I am on a mission to find them and repurpose for the club.  Only issue is getting that rusted screw off the bottom without breaking.

meanwhile, until I can do that, my Mastertouch is being demoted to a One touch plus.

I know everyone has there own way of overcoming this problem, most are way too involved and only work so so.  When I picked up my curb sale MT I had to put new sweeps in her.  I removed the ash catcher bracket, installed new H style sweeps and reattached the ash catcher with three stout zip ties.  Nice solid attachment, easy, and doesn't look like crap.  It never gets too hot on that part of the grill for the zip ties. If you look closely at the picture you can see them.
