[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 640881, member: 39764"] Interesting thread in more ways than one. Interesting thread as in posts and interesting as the first picture of the external threads on the barrel end. The internal threads on the brake are just fine. It must have been glued on. I've chased a lot of threads in my day, on lathes, with die heads even fixed a few with a hand file. I have to say that those in the OP's picture are fugly. Looks to me like an acute lack of lubricant, dull tool or both and if done with a single point lathe tool, the threading tool (insert) was too far above the centerline of the rotating barrel. Lots of seizing going on there. Wow. Obviously, its a 'earn while you learn' person. I thought only Obama was guilty of that. What I'd like to see at this point, is the brake removed (now that it's been redone by the same person). I want to see the 'reworked threading job' underneath the brake. Curious as all get out. I wonder if it's a 'silk purse' over a sows ear........:D [/QUOTE]
