change pin in 314 shaft?
- Thread starter Combs84

Shafts don't have pins, they have inserts or are drilled and tapped to fit pins in the butt. If you mean that you would like the shaft to fit a 3/8-10 pin then the insert in the shaft needs to be bored out to a 1/2" and a solid plug installed. This plug can now be bored and tapped to fit a 3/8-10 pin. Different mechanics prefer different materials for the plug. I always prefer to use Bocota myself. If it is the pin in the butt that you want to change then it is the exact same procedure but a pin would be installed.

I remember doing this shaft.
You wanted it converted to fit the 5280 Tru-Loc which is what I did.
I did the matching ring-work as well. You don't find .010" alum. rings everyday.
I made them.
That was only a week or two ago.
Was the shaft not ordered correctly or do you now want it to fit a different cue?
I converted it once, I can convert it again.
Call Rick at Seyberts and let's get this done.
Quick question: Why would you come on this forum asking for someone else to convert this shaft for you?
Was my work not to your satisfaction?
I guarantee all my work and stand behind it. Seyberts guarantees my work as well.
If there's a problem, let's get it resolved.

Hey sir thanks for the reply. This was done about a year ago and with no ring work. I'm kind of happy to know other people are shooting with the same setup I had. There was no problem with it at all and ill call up today to see how much it will all be.
The reason I came on the forum is to see if someone could do a list of work for a little cheaper maybe. Not a huge list but one nonetheless.

My mistake.
I only get called upon to build a shaft for the Tru-Loc 5280 about once a year.
I guess yours was at least a year ago.
They may not be as popular as you believe.
Cheaper??? I'm shocked, Lol.
To that let me say this. I'm very good at what I do and I don't come cheap.
Quality work comes at a cost.
What you are asking isn't a major project and most competent CMs/C-Tecs could provide
this service for you maybe a little cheaper than I.
If you decide to call Seyberts for this service, I will be more than happy to accommodate you.
All the Best, KJ
