WTB cam shaft nose die
Buggered the threads on the nose of my T cam, anyone have a die they wouldn’t mind parting with? Thanks.

The 9/16 thread for the nose, or the 15/16 thread for the cam gear? Have you considered a 3 corner file to repair the thread? or a thread file?

Re: WTB cam shaft nose die
Might try a thread cleaning file, might work better than a die. Dies are ok for lightly booger thread but don't really follow the path if thread boogered at the beginning.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

Thank you Dan. You’re right the metal was very soft, little bit of patience, and all came through.Dan McEachern wrote: ↑Thu Jun 19, 2025 1:39 pmThe 9/16 thread for the nose, or the 15/16 thread for the cam gear? Have you considered a 3 corner file to repair the thread? or a thread file?
