Combi refurb - sense of humour failure!

[n4lbl]

I use one that looks like:

They come in different sizes and you apply torque with a socket wrench
ratchet and extension.

Hi John,

It does appear to be bronze. I took a look at it today. However, I haven't had an opportunity(?) to replace it...so I don't know the specifics. Perhaps Steve Birch has some ideas? Or, maybe pull the grease fitting and go to a local hardware store and see of you can find the thread size.

If you are unable to locate a replacement, post back and I'll check here in the states. I've had varying luck getting parts for the combi and prop.

My oil filter wrench fits all, it's called a large screwdriver driven
through the filter with a hammer. Mucky but shifts the stubborn ones!

Catsup is red stuff. Usually spelled Ketchup. Made from tomato concentrate, high fructose corn syrup, vinegar, corn syrup, salt onion powder, spice and natural flavors. Americans all over America use it on hotdogs and hamburgers, often with mustard and onions. It is a thick sauce Americans also dip french fries into, probably for the vinegar ingredient.

It is often purchased in a 36 oz. (by weight,) bottle and impossible to see in the refrigerator, especially when in the forground with other products behind it.

Cheers FD - a most comprehensive and detailed response!
I guess you mean tomato sauce!

Unfortunately the machine screw Steve sent was the wrong size for my prop boss... weird! I have discovered that it is a 3/8 UNF machine screw made of bronze - I can only source A2 stainless steel ones so I guess they will have to do! ... or does anyone know of anywhere that does a 316 grade stainless UNF thread, 3/8 diameter x 3/4" length (ish) machine screw?

If you're willing to have the screw made in 316 Stainless Steel, why not have the shop use nylon or teflon. It will be way easier to remove in the future as it won't bind in the threads.

Thats a good idea... I may have to get something made.... just thinking about changing the tread to a "standard" size to make life easier in the future!
