SCREW-EYES, ANC, Steel, 4-40, 1/4 inch shank ZA/CAN 4333
Fun day today! Sitting inside watching the 3rd blizzard in a week roll into town.
I have been able to do some more work on restoring the Screw-Eyes, 4-40 for the top of the Supply Unit front panel. The circumference of the eye is now true, but the gap at the shank still needs to be closed up. It currently sits at about 3/32-inch wide, which is just enough for the lock washer to slide all the way around the body of the screw-eye.
The more I look at it, I am thinking that if I can close the gap up properly, the longitudinal axis of the shank should automatically end up pointing directly at the centre of the eye, so I might get a break there.
A couple of before and after photos posted today of the work so far.
