94 forum posts 11 photos	I have broken the hollow bolt which retains the 1st stud gear on my Myford Super 7. Can anyone advise me what sort of thread it is so that I can fabricate a replacement. Thanks. Peter Edited By Peter Wood 5 on 17/10/2017 21:51:48

The shank is 1/4" diameter with a short length of 1/4" BSF thread. Not hard to make from a decent piece of steel eg from a large high tensile bolt Alternatively try one of the suppliers of second-hand Myford spares on EBay or if all else fails a complete stud assembly is available from ."New" Myford.

The bolt was probably used instead of a nipple as it locks the retaining lever for the second gear. Anyway I will contact Myford to see if they do spares. Thanks again. Peter
