Now that I have good drawings, piece of cake, although I did grab some bad material and spent quite a bit of time chiseling the packed up tool out, and used a good cup of ButterCutt keeping it clean. So thats made and partially assembled. Being out in the hinterlands of WV, nobody stocks metric bolts deep enough to keep me in the right bolts. so I now have about 6 to bite off 8 to 10mm of, and grind away the cut end until it fits the threads again. By then my back said it was quitting time, so thats tomorrows job. Then I should have mounted it about 2mm left as I don't have room to put a grease fitting in the nut unless its a straight 1/4-28, but I don't think even that will allow a gun nozzle's access. And everytime I look up lube recommendations I get a different story. This writer for so-and-so wants 10w non-detergent, the next guy wants a high grade 10w-40 detergent, and the third guy wants white lithium grease. Cheap, rolled C7 grade screw, what would you folks put in it at about one gun pump a month? Thanks everybody.
