That's certainly an option. Thanks.

I think I can weasel my way out of this though. I believe I have a piece of 1/2-10 left hand acme at home that I can use for the screw. That doesn't solve my nut problem Yikes though. I also have matching left hand acme nuts that I might be able to turn down and make a press fit into the sleeve. I'll have to start a thread about that project once I get to it.

Sorry to David for hijacking his thread. Shame on me! Blush
