pfenlon Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Not TR related, but the wing mirrors I have just bought need lifting up at the rear by approximately 3/8" so need a pair of alloy wedges from 0" to 3/8"high by 1 1/2" wide to fettle them in place, around 3 inches long too, if anyone has any ideas I would be grateful.

Perhaphs you could Bob but NOT me, my old dad was a turner, and 8 start threads were simple stuff. But only for him! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 If you can get some suitable size ali bars over to me I will happily taper them off for you. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pfenlon Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thanks for the offer Bob but the 3D printer has already been employed! results in 7 to 10 days, things move slowly in Hyde. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
