They are 48mm od so it will only give you 1.5mm of meat on either side of your hole.

My advice would be to take Deller up on his offer of making some for you?

I had these made at 50mm OD with 40mm iD from 1.2mm Stainless in the post today sent FOC. Hope this solves you problem.

I think Deller deserves some karma points myself

I think Deller deserves some karma points myself

Or some free bottles of a future brew

Did the washers arrive ok? did they do the trick ?

[Down2Die]

Interested to know if it worked for you......

I ended up sending 4 washers as the 1st two were lost in the post. I never heard anymore so assume it worked ok

[barneey]

Yep Im very curious to see if it worked, would be useful to know

As I more than likely have the same elements as thunderbird, mine were also purchase from H&G, I`ve taken one out of my boiler to photograph and provide future reference for the forums. + also enabled me to clean the thing







Thread diameter 39.42, OD of body 47.38, thread length no wahers 10mm.

So in theory 8mm diameter difference between the two, therefore if you have cut a 45mm hole + 8mm = 53mm od washer required in say 1.5mm or 1mm stainless, internal diameter 40mm.

Only my recommendation, should work?

Hi guys,

I'd like to ask you, how do you actually tighten these KM8 lock nuts? Do they require a special tool?

Cheers

water pump pliers have worked well for me

have you got any old bicycle multi spanners the type pressed out of sheet steel?? if so check them out, some have lugs for turning similar nuts securing the pedal bearing hub (dont know the real name), and while not ideal can be used to give that extra torque needed to seal..

[Mther]

thanks guys, I used the water pump pliers, I think they worked well cheers

So over 2 years on did the OP solve the problem, or did they just grab what they could knowledge wise & get a freebie washer set and then just p155 off, without reporting back

Yes there are plenty of ungracious and discourteous people about.
