    A 4-40 screw is 7/64 or 2.7mm.

    If you drill axially into the tube and tap it for a 4-40 screw you should leave~.8 mm or 1/32 on each side. Assuming "balls on accuracy”


    Can you stand it!
    You have too much time on your hands!!
    Out of all the brain power we have on this site, someone will come up with an idea somewhere, somehow. Good job and Keep thinking.

    Its not that I have too much time. Actually I cant seen to find enough time in one day to get everything done I want to do. See I focus on things most people... Huh? where was I.
    I have that ADD or AHDD thing or something. They told me but I wasnt paying attention.
    Anyway thanks for noticing! I try to use my ideas for benificial means, but it seems most of them are just nonsense. Or ideas someone else has already had, patented, and are in production, somewhere.
    As for the telepaths, I have learned to recognize them and
    ignore them. The worst thing you can do is block them and
    make them mad, When it gets to be too much, I put my
    fingers in my ears and sing, "FLINTSTONES, MEET THE
    FLINTSTONES."

    Cost of rebuild? Who knows, but it gets higher everytime somone wastes valuable resorces.
    I mean it's Your junk, but I'll bet there's ten dollars of aliminum alone in there ( ok mabe three to five) but thats BEER money man!

    There are hungry kids in Indiana fer cryin' out loud!

    Cost to rebuild is ~ $120 per shock, assuming nothing is seriously wrong with the shaft, etc. Thats for the rechage, seal replacement, and new fluid!
