Hi all these are some pic of the screw and the acme nut as you can see in the second pic it is badly warn

hi all sorry its 7/8ths major diameter not 7/16ths as I stated earlier

Hi I'll post some pic with mesurment's and check that I've got it right to be on the safe side. P's I work night's that's why my response's area a bit delayed thanks

Hi thanks for the the help it's a 4 t.p.I for a 7/16th's rod I contacted

A couple of places but some didn't do them and other would only

Do them in bathes that would cost around £900 to a £1000 I've checked the rod and there's no visible ware on it the nut is very badly warn though
