I've lost my pitch gauges at the minute. But with the calipers it seems to be M16x1.50mmWhat is the size of the thread that screws it into spindle housing?
The reason I ask, is that like @Iwik I am thinking about converting mine to this design.
BTW - I have to admit to failure...
My plunger which worked well for few days is now failing miserably
Try a dowty washerI suspected copper washer, sealing bleed hole - there were signs of seepage and I have tightened it quite few times, so I was guessing that it has work hardened...
OK, fitted new o-rings, annealed copper washer and everything works perfectly again
I shall monitor it and report here how it performs.
If it goes soft on me again... I will have to consider modifying the plunger and it's housing
Just spotted this, probably too late now but let me know if you still need pictures and measurements.Hi @citizen kane
Could you get some more pictures/measurements of you plunger? I believe my unit is identical to yours.
One quick question you might know off the tip of your head, was there a copper washer or seal between the plunger assembly and the sprinkle?Just spotted this, probably too late now but let me know if you still need pictures and measurements.

Good news, the spindle lock works. I realised I've got a rubber seal between the plunger body and the spindle.
