LandR Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I'm interested. Any idea on timing and price? Thanks Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
383 240z Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Depends on how many guys need them. I can set my machines up to turn them out pretty quick, but not wanting to do the setup work to make 1 of them. Price will be very fair. parts+ a little labor Not wanting to make money on these, just to cover time and expenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henness Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) I made my own puller today from john's shopping list. I drilled out one end but I still need to tap it, I didn't have the right size in my set. Does any one know why john said to drill and tap both ends? The only reason I can come up with why you would do that is if the threads maybe got messed up on one end??? I was forced to buy 6' of the threaded rod so if this thing ends up working I can make 5 more if people want to buy them from me. I haven't priced it per tool yet but I would assume I could sell them for the same price John was @ $60 Shipped. I'll keep you guys posted.

Drill and tap both ends in the event you strip the threads out you only need to change ends on the puller. The 3/4 reducer goes towards the pin.

Henness Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) Well after 4 attempts at drilling a hole 100% perfectly straight and center on my drill press, I have given up. With the 3/4" ACME rod there is just absolutely no room for error. the hole drilled fine but when I go to thread it it just makes holes in the bottom of the threads. I have decided to go with a some bigger ACME thread instead 7/8" or 1". Should solve my problem, guess I'll just use the rest of this rod on another project. :/ On a side note what thread pitch are the pins normally anyway? Because for some reason mine are 12-1.75 instead of the 12-1.25 like you posted above. Edited January 30, 2016 by Henness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtburf Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 You really need to drill and tap in a lathe, no Idea why your threads are 1.75, they have always been 1.25. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henness Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) Yea. I think im gonna go with a slightly larger rod, and use a freinds lathe. If it was and SAE thread that didn't go as deep I wouldn't be concerned, but with this ACME its so thin by the time you drill a 27/64 hole in it. As for the threads, I find that extreamly odd because its definantly 1.75 and the thread are not messed up. Just makes me concerned that someone put the wrong stuff in there at some point. I guess it doesnt matter Im replacing them anyway. Thanks for the help John! Edited January 30, 2016 by Henness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
