Threaded Tube End Fitting

Post by dougm »

Is the "Threaded Tube End Fitting" (shown on page 5 for the center section compression tubes) something I have to make myself or is this something I can buy? If it is something I can buy, what is the part number?

Hi Doug,
I made mine. Going by memory, they are 3/4" od stepped down to fit into tube and tapped for an AN5 bolt. If you are having a problem making these, I am equipped to do them easily.

Hi Al,

I might take you up on that. I don't have access to a lathe to machine these.

I bought a taig micro lathe to make these. cost about $300 all in. It's actually really fun once you get the hang of it.
