HELP ................

Broken

The main reason .The spinning bottom lock nut....

A quest to find a better fixture

[Bazza-old]

i have replaced all mine with longer bolts and locking nuts

the problem is the original nut bit is not good, once the screws are loctited in its easier for the nut to spin than the scew

try talking to TTE they might send you a new box

i have been thinking about this today and came up with the answer - at work we use anchor nuts in 1000's of places, it is a self locking nut that is held very securly in a small metal base, and the base is then riveted on. This would prevent the screws/screw insert from spinning and also eliminates the need to apply loctite to the screws to prevent them from undoing by vibration.

do you have a picture of these Rob?

[Rob]

no sorry steve i dont - not at work anymore, but depending on which size screw you are going to use they are just a little bit over 1 cm long and about 4 - 5 mm wide and are about 3 mm deep - they are a flush fit also BUT........ they are imperial thread but this isnt a prob as i have all the screws at my fingertips :P email me your address and ill send you some to evaluate.

take care steve.

ps il try find on one the 'net

[Rob]

do you have a picture of these Rob?

here you go steve pictures of anchor nuts I can get all of these but the best one is the type shown in the upper RH corner as this will allow the screw to still engage even if the bolt/screw hole is not perfectly aligned.

Thanks Rob...

I found something better... Will post a picture on Monday if anyone else needs it..

I forgot all about these... I have them at work, very simular to the ones in there already but they would thread in.... and lock into place. I hope these work, but I will try them on a Mock up piece of ABS first.

[Rob]

i think i know what you mean - same sort of style as the origianals but they screw into place? we have them also but when i have time ill use anchor nuts on mine as i know then the insert/etc will never spin!

cheers rob.
