got a tough one for you?

[HEAD09]

looking for the size of the nut that goes under the steering on the tri z... that holds the lower tripples on... i know it must be metric need to order a die to fix the treads...or can i go without? thx...

[honda250sx]

Cant go without definetly. Its a large diameter and fine thread. Its going to cost you a small fortune for the die itself. And after you use it once its useless to you. I would just buy a triple tree and be done with it. You could buy a metric thead file which can be found on Mc-Master Carr. Even then that may not have the proper pitch you need on it.

Buy a triple.

well i i need it for my next project also...so HELP!!!!!PLZ:rolleyes: :cry:

[Mosh]

I am just about positive, The tripple tree post, is the same thread and pitch and size as the countershaft sprocket nut on the engine.
I thought I remember Ronnie saying that his billet triple tree nuts also fit the sprocket threads on the Z...Same as banshee sprocket nut too.
Dont hold me to this though.

thx man i will pm him...

EVERYONE should own a thread file....

Once you get into 14mm and larger threads, the die costs go up immensely. Now, if it's an internal thread, your screwed :lol: but if it's just the stem I'd grab myself a file. I think they were about 20$ last time I looked and I use it often!!

This is a case were Harbor Freight doesn't cut the mustard!! A good tool will last years to come.

If you need it for your next project then buy two triple trees. Your not going to touch this die for under a $100. Bet on it. Not going to be found at Harbor Freight, Cummins tool sale, and or Chuck Homier.

What a bout a thread chaser?

[honda250sx]

Again specialized. Thread file if you want to try and save it. Used triple still best bet.

i keep wanting to turn the girl in your avitar around and grat that monster and pop it's top. ;) hahaa lol sorry ok back on topic.


the problem i have seen is by the time I go spend money and time on some of these parts, I could have found a used repalcement for the nearly the same cost in good or better shape. check out ebay, and the classifieds, you may get luchy and find some awesome deals.
