Vintage project (in pieces at the moment)

[babola]

Hmmmm, I'll have to give that a try, Babola. Thanks!

Tighten the screw back down w/o the stem inserted then back it off 1.5 turns, yeah?

Correct
Give it a go anyway...it may actually work in your case !

cheers,
babola

It worked! Thanks. vaccum suggested the same thing, but I misunderstood and re-tightened the screw with the stem inserted. Now, the only problem is the stem is about 3.5mm too long, so a little quality time in the garage with the hacksaw today and all should be well.

Thanks, again, Babola and vaccum. I will have some new pics this afternoon.

I think this will fast become one of my favorites.

Sounds like a good project.

Great!! I suggest to use a file instead of the hacksaw :wink:

 

[hooligan]

I don't have a cutting file, vac. Perhaps I could run over to the Home Depot and pick one up, though.

You did a great job, wear it with pride!
