Rear upright ‘plug’

PostPost by: Lotus54 » Thu Dec 28, 2023 4:26 am

I am properly removing the original spring seats on the rear uprights. The original owner just hacked them halfway off to get clearance.
Just to make sure I do not damage the threads when the damper is out and I am moving the unit around, I made up a 3D printed ‘plug’
I did have to setup up custom threads in Fusion 360, since it has 24tpi and large. But it worked out well and should keep from damaging threads if I do something dumb.

If anyone wants STEP/STL file, I am happy to give away.

Likely nobody needs this, (including me) but since it was easy I figured better to be extra safe.

I’d put the STL on Thingiverse.
