RedBanner Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Looking to get a tap made for shortining strut tubes. Dont much care for sectioning them. Can some one help me out with a thread pitch and size for 510 610 710 210 b210 or zx strut tube gland nuts? Not popping up in searches, worded a dozen ways and got nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment
H5WAGON Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Me and Derek were making calls on this...Tap was around $200ish This was just for that size range...not sure on specs. Also threaded area of tube is thinner than lower down where you would cut to section them. I'm sure tap would have no problem cutting it, just a FYI. B) Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Mine have sleeves. The last ones I did also where sleeved, some are not but the later ones are maybe. Or just some. And its not that far off, even if I had to ream the edge it would cut. Quote Link to comment
H5WAGON Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I was wanting to make more calls on this, but just opted to just cut and get it done. Threaded would be sweet, after tapping, just cut and clean up thread. For desired insert. You intentions to use stock perch or coil-overs? Coil-over cover all the scarring...lol Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I cut mine ground it smooth and used z car perches and springs, there not coil overs but there alot smaller diameter than most the others. 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Bjorn in Norway sent me these. Tapped an extra 20mm and cut off the extra so that zx inserts fit a European 810 tube. 1 Quote Link to comment
