Lucky Phil Posted July 2 Author Share Posted July 2 2 hours ago, gstallons said: 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 ! What does all this mean. I'll make my own nut and cut the thread myself on the lathe. Phil 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil This is the method I expected Phil would use. It amazes me that threads can be cut on a lathe. Doubly more-so: internal threads . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
