gstallons Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Sure , if you have a tap w/that thread pitch . Also the threads come to an abrupt stop. Just remove this jam nut and give it a look or take it to Fastenal and ask for help .

Just remove this jam nut and give it a look or take it to Fastenal and ask for help . I was thinking more of single point threading it and there is a larger ID visible on the outside of the nut that means you can thread all the way through. Phil 2
gstallons Posted July 1 Posted July 1 I was just popping off. IDK if that jam nut is threaded all the way or not and I am too lazy to go o/s and look . Is this going on a red frame or black frame ? It matters. 1

gstallons Posted July 2 Posted July 2 IDK if I can find a jam nut loose out in the shop but I will look and see if I can find and check the thread pitch . I am sure it is extra fine !

gstallons Posted July 2 Posted July 2 The facts . The only pivot and jam nut I have is a (I measured) 20mm X 1.0 thread pitch . The outer hex is a 30mm head on the jam nut. Searching Fastenal website gives only 20x2.5 thread pitch only. You can Google and find plenty of offerings there . Not all taps/dies are created equal . Maybe someone will chime in on their favorite brand(s) of taps. The miracle of all miracles . I keep LOTS of things .a.k.a. JUNK in many plastic drawers . @ 3:45 a.m. I walked out into the shop , opened the first drawer and "presto" found the jam nut/pivot bolt . Remind Deanna to purchase Lottery ticket today ! 1 2
