I soon have to install a set of the square headed lost motion adjusters, containing a square fiber insert, into a Gulbransen spinet. Whenever I do this job I find that so many of the adjusters are so badly made that just trying to screw them on is either impossible and tears the fiber square apart, or they disassemble themselves. I was planning to run a tap through the fiber square to "pretreat" the adjuster and have fewer problems during istallation, but I have no sample of the wires they go on. Does anyone know what size thread the wires have? I seem to remember it is something like 6-32, ( #6 size, 32 threads per inch) but it might be an oddball size. I would appreciate any info from someone who can compare the threads to a known size. Thanks, Bill Simon Phoenix
