The Official Status Update Thread: Part 34 - Steel Magnolias

[Westside]

I have a lot of stuff to do before tomorrow, I'm not gonna have time for the 30 min drive one way to get to that side of town. I'll have to figure something out and make a go at it. if nothing else, there's always the dremel and a vise. The hole doesn't need to be round, just a tad bit bigger.

ok, offer still stands if you change you mind. You might try Utterback supply, only problem is they are still on this side of town. They are across the street from the subway by the new Mindset labs location.

It's a fix for my dueling tree. I don't have the newest version like DaKruiser, so I have to add some washers.

Whats the size of the washer ID and OD?

 

[Westside]

Good luck finding the 5.56 for a decent price or even in stock

I know a hole in the wall place that will have it in stock. decent price is a whole different matter. what is decent? AIM is around $12 for 30rds.

I have the washers. Its a 5/16 flat washer that needs to be opened up just a tad for the bolt to fit through it.

Used to be less than 30 cents a round. Now if you can find it around 33 cents a round you're doing good.

Dremel to grind it?

 

[OneBadV8]

1 month 2 weeks 3 days... do i even bother calling to see if they have it in the system yet?

I think I'm gonna wait til the 3 month mark.

Dremel to grind it?

Yeah, this might be the route I take. I also might put a small round file on a drill

That might work if you dont have to much to take off

Hi Bye cowgirl!!! Have a good day

 

[cowgirl.sdm]

Going to work pownage!

Yeah, the dremel will be easier. The bottom of the bolt fits in the hole, but the threads do not. so I don't have to take much off at all.

I know you have the washers ,,but what im trying to say is I HAVE A LOT of different size washers (maintenance shop) for exsample i have 3 different sizes for each bolt -to cover the different jobs we do ***lol so if you gave me a ID and OD ,i might be able to take this problem off your hands

If your bolt is threaded you could run a tap and thread the washer. Ive done that before.

Hi shadow. I heard you missed me!

I can't measure it right now as I don't have them with me. If DaKruiser is home, he could measure the bolt and the bushing and pry give you an idea.

The OD is perfect with a standard 5/16" Flat washer and I believe the bolt is 3/8".

 

[Shadow]

ok ok ok my mistake ,i didnt read -------it has to fit a 3/8 bolt . But what size is the OD ,,i have 3 different size washers that are for the 5/16

What about a 3/8 lock washer? only concern would be thickness.
