I have just had my alternator rebushed and cleaned up and when i went to put the pully on the tread on the shaft stipped probably due to a doggy nut
but what are my options does anyone on the Nth side of Brissy have a tool for putting a new thread on the shaft or do i have to replace the hole
shaft.
any help would be much appreciated
cheers

your local metalshop/metal engineer will be able to do it no worries, or you could try using a tap and die set to clean up the thread
Just rethread it to a smaller size and use a nut to suit,ideally you would make a nut that has the same across the flats as the original, have had to do this before with a steering column on another make of car.:thumb
if u are in urgent need u can araldite it for the time being will even do spark plugs
smaller threa and nut will doo.... may wanta large washer there still
i have a problem like this on my genny.
the thread is really worn.
the old nut was also very worn.
i went and got a couple of hi tensile nuts with perfect threads which managed to bite into what thread i had left and thats how it is staying for the
moment.
