Front knuckles with M4 thread
Hi Welshy,
thanks for the hint with the LAW-12. I checked ebay in US and UK but did not know that it is still available. Anyway, I got now a good indication and will soon post it for sale.
Regarding the front knuckles:
I agree that using M4 threads with Pins could help. I can imagine the regular Pins becoming loose because of the friction between the hexagonal-head of the pin and the C-Hub.
Now if you use "just" Pins (no hexagonal top area) there should be less friction between pin and c-hub. Hence less danger of the pin becoming loose.
Attached some pics of what I tried some years ago to re-use my front knuckles with stripped down M3-threads.
When cutting the M4 thread in the knuckles I would recommend not to use all three "cutters"/ "drillers". If you only use the first and the second one of a set-of-three then the Pins will have more friction in the thread.
Just my 2 Cents
Cheers
Ralf
