Seriously though, do let us know how it goes. I've been following this thread with some interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted July 1 Share 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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

gstallons Posted July 1 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gstallons Posted July 2 Share 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 .
