I'd tap that

So I needed an M6 coupler nut to lengthen my rear drum brake rod. Found some threaded m6 stock at bolt supply house, but if I wanted the coupler nut the minimum order was 100...hmmm

Sooo. Cut off 1 1/2" of 1/2" round, drill the centre out with the drill press, and tapped that bitch. Voila, a perfect M6 coupler nut. Damn I love having the right tools for the job.

  1. Well done. That's some problem solving. If they won't help you out, make your own shit. Not a bad looking piece either.
