Clutch plunger threads? Verto vs Pre Verto.
Turbo Mini Forums

How do gents

As the nights are starting to draw in I'm being drawn towards getting the project moving again after having zero to little time to work on it...

Silly little problems have made me lose interest in the project as I've not been able to figure stuff out.

One issue is this...

I can't get the two nuts to set the clutch 'throw' to thread onto the actual clutch plunger. The one on the right is verto (which the nuts came off) and the one on the left is the new 'pre verto' one from minispares. As much as I mess about (I don't want to force the nuts on) I cannot get the nut to start to thread onto it properly.

Are they the same thread? Any ideas on how to sort it?

as far as iam aware they are the same thread.

the problem looks to me on the pic............ you are trying to force a shitted up nut, nuts on a new thread, clean them up with a small wire wheel brush in the drill ...... degrease them well first..... make sure you havent duffed up the threads on both parts first!

The actual nut I am trying to put on is cleaned up... The quality of the plunger doesn't look that great to be honest

Spares only list the 2 (flangeed and locking) NT610041 and 22A427 if you want to check. Being in the metal finishing game I can tell you the the plating on that part will be thickest on the ends. with no chamfer on the thread I suspect you my well strugle.

I agree, run a file rond the end and then give it a try.

Cheers gents, I'll give it a try
