Thanks aRM 


Yes the copper ends are a press fit , because in this application they would drop out every time the clamp bar was removed .

I went to make some brass ones today and noticed that the knurl wasn't cutting correctly. I pulled the pins, as the wheels had a lot of radial run out and noticed that both are soft crap steel and badly work. It is one of the cheap arse bump knurlers that come with the AXA QCTP kits. Guess I will have to bump the camjack knurler up to the top of my project list...

Tom's knurler is cool, but my camjack does work. I'm glad I got it back after the fire.
