Hi Jack

Here is the latest on the problems with the threads on the Greens. I have a 3/8 BSF bolt and the one original nut I have screws on with no problems. I then take a new BSF nut and also screw it on the bolt, no problems.

I take the original nut and screw it on the drum shaft with no problems. I then take the new BSF nut and try and screw that on the drum shaft and it binds up and will not screw on.

I hope that all makes sense???

I am planning to buy a 3/8 BSF die nut and see it that cleans up the threads.

Fingers crossed.

Willo
