Guide Ring DIY

[Shawn]

I asked two different reputable suppliers for a price on guide rings delivered and Acc details etc etc etc, No responce, what gives, never mind did it myself... Thats what sunday mornings are for right...After Church of course...

If it works Ill be surprised....:D

[Shawn]

Anybody got any knobs,,,;)

[Eternal]

Do what I did for knobs, plastic Coke bottle caps!

Nice work! I've seen 1/4 inch, 5/16 inch and 3/8 inch tri-corner knobs in Bunnings. There is a threaded insert into the plastic body of the knob that accepts a bolt of the respective size. I used a 5/16 knob and re-tapped it with an 8mm tap to accept an 8mm bolt once.

They are approx 3 or 4 bucks each IIRC.

Cheers

It looks like a bought one Shawn.:thumbsup:

www.skiffy.com (http://www.skiffy.com) do knobs - minimum 100 though! I have some M6 hex head fitting ones that Ambermile uses for the BC+F guide rings. I can post half a dozen to you if you have an address - they just tap onto the head of the bolt. Black too;) No charge.

PM me.

Can't get a better offer than that Shawn, good old Arthur.
If that doesn't work I know of a supply in NZ.

That is indeed most generous of you Arthur. But Its Ok , Im going to the big city in a couple of days, to get frightened with traffic and people...:lol:. Im looking for haf a dozen small cheap chinese screwdrivers, you know the ones that you can reverse the tang, Ill epoxy them on to the threaded bar, In the meantime, call me wingnut...

Hey to my disbelief it works surprisingly well... :shrug:
