Connector tube tool

Posted

Got my injectors today.  Appreciate the hoodie and fast shipping!

 

The included but for the connector tubes doesn't fit because the tubes are recessed.  10 mins on the lathe made it work!

 

Thanks!

    Consider it done.  Or just tell me what thread pitch it is and I can make some.  I actually put that one in the core return box with a note detailing the issue with it to DAP and hopefully they can in

    It is NOT 5/8-18.  The thread pitch is M16x1.5.  kind of an odd all but I've got the tap.  I'm going to make a few prototypes out of brass.  I would rather the tool be softer than the connector tube.

    Ha! We don't even know if it works yet!  I've gotten more than $50 worth of knowledge from your site.  Just let me know where to send it.

    Let me round them up and I have to get back with you on email and get your address. I've got like 2 or 3 of those floating around.

    Apparently it's a 5/8-18.  Will confirm tomorrow.  I have a die for that.

    Looks like it works now!

     

    I turned it out of brass hex stock.
