<div dir="ltr">Spencer: I still question the 15mm fastener. I
originally checked McMaster-Carr before I ever commented; now,
I've double-checked there plus MSC and Grainger. These are THE
three "go-to" industrial suppliers online. None carry 15mm
fasteners. They go straight from 14mm to 16mm.

been giving this some more thought, and I am actually now a
little more serious about metric if you can tolerate the idea
of a metric bolt on a canon.. All you need are:<br>
<br>
15 mm x 1 threads per millimeter tap.<br>
14 mm drill for initial boring prior to tapping.<br>
A 15 mm x 1 threads per millimeter bolt at the length you
need.<br>
<br>
No special tooling, no excessive drilling diameters, etc. A
single thread per mm is a course pitch so it meets that
requirement. This is all fairly cheap, straightforward,
available from major Internet retailers and probably your
local fastener store if you have such a beast. I am lucky - I
have three.<br>

Anyway you go, best of luck.<br>

off and on forever had four badly stripped holes in the torque
tube. Somebody had tapped the 5/8" holes out about 7/8 or so
and it was BAD. There wasn't any threaded inserts that I
could find that would be direct replacements. A machine shop
friend of mine was nice enough to make a set of inserts, kind
of like the KeenSerts, and install in the torque tube. Once
it's painted I don't think you'll be able to tell that
anything ever happened to it!<br>
