Re: ATM Threaded Inserts

["Bill Thornley" <bill_thornley@hotmail.com>]

Hi Rob,
I've bought threaded inserts from Hills Telefix here in Sydney. Hills are 
the mob who invented the rotary close line! They have a disposal warehouse 
in Riverwood (south western suburb). I bought some 20mm inserts for about 
$1.50 each. They're 1/4" thread. There a bit different to anything I've seen 
on the web. They have an Al end plate that sits proud of tube end (doesn't 
look too bad). I machined mine down to fit in the tube end. They had a few 
different sizes (bigger & smaller). See if they have a distributor in Perth. 
If not give me a yell and I'll pick some up for you and get Aus Post to take 
'em across the Nullabor.
BTW they have a few different plastic knobs with 3/16" & 1/4" threads.

Regs,
Bill Thornley
