[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 150121, member: 161"] Dear Greg, I made the collar myself but it is not threaded. I cut it out roughly to shape out of some dural plate. I split it on a centre line, drilled and tapped for two countersunk screws that hold the two parts together. I then bored a hole to a size to clamp over the existing threaded adjuster ring. You have got me thinking now about how you fix a stripped thread? How do you remove a stripped adjuster and fit a new one? Will a new adjuster fit over the width of the welded-on mounting lug? If it doesn't how was it assembled in the first place as the threaded end of the body has a thick tube welded at right angles to the body? My wife is not well today. I had to call out the paramedics this morning so I am not in a position to go out and do a further investigation at the moment. [/QUOTE]
