Bit of a numpty moment!

[Slipperyeel]

I know what it looks like but I need all its physical dimensions to make one, preferably in metric as it’s threaded M6 internal. Two minutes with a digital caliper and I could knock one up in a tea break.

Looking at it, a printed part with a threaded insert would also work...flange thickness could be more without any issue in that location.

I'm not volunteering! Run ragged and about to head south very soon so no time!

See pic above at post #3, or the link for the pic.

The link I put above for AliExpress contains all of the components needed except for the final dome nut on the inside for less than a tenner. And you get two sets.
Just saying.

If you have the old round knobs these are much better.

He's right you know. I bought the same kit from ebay to try and stop the screen rattle as the originals wouldn't tighten up any more.
Contains two of the top hat threaded things.

Have you been saving that one up Paul?

I'm tempted to ask when was the last time you saw a wise virgin, but I probably best not!

I need the diameters big and small plus the size across flats, plus the thickness of the washer ‘shoulder’ and the overall length. From that I can turn a couple down (in A4 grade stainless from a large bolt) then bench file the two flats. The filing down accurately parallel is the hard part, I’m a bit rusty at my bench fitting skills. I know it’s internally threaded M6 from its description.

That and a postal address to send it to.

Major dia. 16 x 2, Minor dia. 9.4 x 8, Across flats 7,8, tapped 6mm, stainless

 

[Pukmeister]

I assume you mean 7.8 across flats. Thanks for taking the time to provide dimensions, I’ll get busy on it tomorrow between jobs.

 

[theoneandonly]

You lot are lightweights,

jeez have you not heard of the double drop method, you take a similar size component and drop it like the first,

When you see it's drop path, you will find the missing first part , and for info, it will be in the front frame area where the indicator wire comes through right at the apex of the two frame welds

after you tie a cotton thread to it !

Bobbins made from A4 grade stainless steel over a coffee this morning. Will file the flats in my lunch break and deburr and they should be ready to post.

Sir, thank you so much. Looks like a proper job.
Name and address furnished in messages.
Never ceases to amaze me, the kindness of people on here amongst all the angst of what’s going on in the world and in people’s lives.
I don’t really use expletives and ‘sugar plum fairies’ is my usual go to, but shit man, this is awesome!
Thank you!

 

[Pukmeister]

My pleasure.

In the Post with Royal Mail this evening, should be with you fairly soon I hope.

Nice work. Took me back to the metalwork room at school with the teacher trying to show us how to read a Vernier caliper

We have a digital one in the drawer at work for the kids to use, trouble is the little watch battery in it is flat. How I laugh !!!

Analog measuring instruments are a mystery to them.

I'm laughing but I must fess up, I never cracked the Vernier...... I remember a bit where the two marks lined up and that was the decimal.... or something like that

EDIT: nightmares tonight now about leaving the chuck key in the lathe before they were spring loaded

 

[Pukmeister]

Metric is easy.

Remembering imperial divisions as a decimal I could do in my head years ago

eg 1/8” = 0.125, 1/16” = 0.0625 etc etc.

Nowadays I am a bit slower with it, though not much is imperial now anyway.
