• a convex outer surface formed on the engagement member;
• wherein the mounting formation can be selectively received within the mounting recess so that the concave surface and the convex mounting surface are in direct engagement;
• wherein the convex outer surface and the retention wall are dimensioned so that they are in frictional engagement when the engagement member is mounted on the adapter;
