I tried to post the video but the server said the file was too large so I'll try to do another one that's shorter I guess, but I can't do that until Monday as I'm officiating our tri-cups this weekend and won't have the time.

the .550" cap is so when done, you don't see a spiral from the threads. It's a full circle. if doing a fully threaded plug, it will look lopsided and will show the epoxy line which, performance wise is not an issue, but from a professional side looks horrible.I'll post a video next.

I use an insert cutter made to cut aluminum and run it about 900 rpm. Cuts smooth. Then I center drill and drill/bore and tap.

Okay, was wondering if you had a way to make an allen wrench fitting on them, like cuefits had on their POM fittings.

Nice, how do you tighten them down on the cue?

Let me clarify, I was speaking solely about the Huebler repairs. When I did those yrs ago, I didn't think to use a threaded nylon bolt as an insert. On regular shafts, I bore approx. .420" hole, tap at 1/2x13 and then bore the end to fit the .550" head. The dowel was a test run, and got tapped...

I always drill/bore a .5" dia. hole then plugged it with maple, the drilled/bored tapped for the insert of nylon. Then drilled tapped for the joint pin.

I haven't had to, outside of a couple hueblers back in the day due to cross threading. Had no issues boring them out with a 1/2 endmill then plugging and making a new nylon insert.

I have found that trying to make threaded inserts consumes a lot of time and I'm not really set up for live threading so trying to do die threading has not worked so well either. What I do now is I buy 2" nylon bolts 1/2 inch by 13 and I turned the head down to.550" and then I bore tap the hole...

More info required like is it a 90vdc motor or a 180vdc? pics and specs.....

Depends on how thick the leather was, or how deep the channel is now. Most linen is about .025" thick, compared to leather that can be .030" and thicker. I have used 5 minute epoxy to coat the whole channel and then re-cut the channel to the proper depth, and have had to use wood veneer applied...

I just ordered last month, took a couple weeks but got them. He also answered both my emails.

Did you buy this brand new? The reason I ask is that EVERY BK2 I've worked on has a carbon fiber pad on top of the 'ferrule' and If the pad is removed, you will see an exposed carbon tube end and the exposed ferrule edge....I have NOT seen one that has a Capped ferrule. The wood shaft BK's have...

found a place that carries the board.....HERE

It is actually a type of rotary switch with micro resisters soldered in between the connection posts.
