<< < (2/3) > >>

Peter J:
My brother in law runs an engineering company so if you were on the door step I could have got it done for you.....he also has (a few) cnc lathes that do thread cutting

Just a thought bud  :daumenhoch:

bobafett:
Never mind matey - thanks for trying though, if i was closer i'd have deffo taken you up on that  :daumenhoch:

currio:
Mr. Fett, the solution to this problem does not always require the purchase, or hire of specialist tooling. i.e thread die.
If you know a decent Engineer who is local, there may be another solution to your current predicament.
It is possible to repair damaged threads using appropriate hand tools, specifically in the case of threads, a knife edged needle file.
I may know someone who would up to the job.
Let me know,
Shaun
