Subject: threadbear Hi, does any one know the thread size on the wire stickers of a Kimbal drop-action? I do not have easy access to the instrument and know the rubber has bonded to the wire, and will make installing the new nuts real hard. Removal of the action is not an option, or I would use my mini torch to burn off the old rubber. Size of rod and TPI HELP! Joe Goss RPT If memory serves me right, the threads on the rods are rolled, not cut with a die. Rolled threads will be larger in diameter then the rod, but the right size for the nut. Running a die over them will decrease their diameter. The nut will be quite loose. Test very carefully. Paul C
