2156 forum posts	Posted by duncan webster on 02/11/2021 22:23:10: Can you open up to 1/4*40 and then make some stepped studs The thread is 7/32x40 for the cable adjuster so 1/4x40 may not give enough wall section for thread depth. I will look at 7mm or 9/32" depending on which taps and dies I have. Thanks for the input.
