Yellowperil Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 Found this on garage floor when working on TR6 throttle bodies yesterday. Extended grub screw about 22mm long. Looks familiar but I can’t think where from. Not sure whether it’s from TR6? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coops Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 Is it out of a socket set universal joint? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This type of screw pin is used in some shackles where its ends being flush is an asset. I've seen similar used on sailing boats, so that lines or fabric cannot snag on the head, split pin, or ring of the pin. I've likewise seen them on small rollers of machines. My old Sunbeam motorcycle uses similar on the bowden cable connecting fork of its front brake, My TR4A has a similar pin for the clutch slave cylinder's pushrod (it goes through it's forked end). in short it's ; a flush fitting pin usually through a forked end (connection) which needs a degree of angular articulation .. but then again it is also much the same as the screw-pin which holds the Bosch-fitting blade down (locked) on my jig-saw. Hope this helps trigger the appropriate recollection Pete Edited November 27, 2022 by Bfg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 I Have something similar from a bird seed feeder. The sticky out perch that the bird stands on. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Z320 Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 It looks like something used to secure something, like a roll pin, but easier to remove (more often). I have never seen something like that on my 4A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie D Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Maybe it’s a worm axle that has fallen out of an adjustable spanner. (Not that any self-respecting TR owner would admit to having an adjustable spanner.) Charlie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 That style of adjustable spanner is far better than grinding the jaws of a Snap-on spanner to fit bigger and bigger nuts Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill944T Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 The adjustable spanner would have to be AF for the TR, not metric……. Regards Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie D Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Adjustable wrenches are not just for cheapskates. If you’ve got big nuts you need one of these: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/wrenches/1876989 At £1,038.37 it’s a bargain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Z320 Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) What about a Knipex „Zangenschlüssel“ or „Armaturenzange“ one of my favorite tools, I own it small and standard 250 mm size. Edited November 28, 2022 by Z320 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
