Thread chaser for pivot posts
on: May 12, 2022, 11:15:57 PM
Hi here is my first contribution. I'm new to modding and I may have solved a nonexistent problem, but in case this interests anyone... I wanted to clean the gunky Loctite out of pivot post threads, so I created a tiny thread chaser. I discovered that the threads are #6–40 (at least on the wave, rebar, and wingman). So I got the right bolt and filed a couple of slightly diagonal notches along it (I could have used a tap, but I didn't want to risk removing any metal).

I think if you softened up the Loctite with some solvent first you would get more stuff out, but I haven’t tried that yet.

Finding that bolt was probably the hardest part. Never thought about doing it that way but it’s a great idea  :like:

Yeah actually even specialized bolt vendors and Grainger didn't have it, I did find VERY few choices on Amazon and bought this one:

Honestly, it's easier and probably just fine to carefully use a tap. But with my little gizmo I'm assured of not damaging the threads.
