My question is I have a 90's joss west and the pin size is different form the earlyer cues the threds are thicker and I am trying to get a predator shift for it anyone have any ideas :confused:
 
If the threads are thicker, more than likely they are Strouds 5/16-14 ACME.

I would need the butt to match it up, I have the rings in stock.

Would you have any idea where I could get joint protectors that would fit an 87 Josswest? It has a piloted ivory joint with the 5/16 ACME pin...

I could do one for the butt out of delrin, use a regular 5/16X14 for the shaft.

That's interesting, because I did try using a delrin set from a Scruggs cue I have and it seemed to fit OK. I realize that isn't a perfect solution, but would this be safe to do? Is delrin hard enough that it would damage the pin threads?

The reason I have never had a set made is that I was never able to reconsile the risk of shipping the cue vs the benefit of joint protectors, as the cue doesn't leave the house much.

The delrin won't hurt it.
