Tuf Neck Ace stem problem solved

(1/2) > >>

Rob1:
Has anyone else had this problem ? A Tuf Neck Ace stem with the big bolt installed ; the top cap won`t line up and I can`t get my bolts in . Looks like this :



I didn`t really want to take any material out of the top cap to get it to line up . So a bolt was made with a slightly smaller head and there it is , job done :







Picture showing slight difference in head size . I think the original was 15/16" , the new one is 7/8" . Stainless too so will polish up a treat !

meticulous:
well done!

wonder why it was like that in the firsy place.....  ???

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
top job and well sorted  :daumenhoch:

animal:
There it a distict possibilty that the bolt had been replaced at some point with a whitworth bolt instead of UNC hence the head being 2 big  :D The threads r very similar  ::)

Waxintaxin:
Or the top and bottom are from different stems !!
