Does anyone have a spare diamond disc wooden lift handle? I need one for this C-150 I just fixed for a customer.
Also.. does anyone have 4 screws for mounting a cygnet back bracket to an Edison triumph? The screws I have are too short (this was previously on an Edison home)
Thanks!
David

Found the DD handle.
Does anyone have or know where I can get 4 screws for the back bracket?

I have used hardware store round head steel wood screw (not brass) of the size you need.. just heat them up red hot with a propane torch and quench them in a little motor oil. Ends up looking just like bluing on a rifle...

I thought about doing this. If I can't find a set then I will do this.
Thanks!

They're not wood screws are they? Don't they go through, with nuts & washers on the inside of the cabinet?
If you get them from a hardware store, don't get ones that are cadmium plated. The propane torch bluing thing doesn't work too well with cad plated stuff.

They are indeed NOT wood screws! They are machine screws with nuts and washers, as Jerry said.JerryVan wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 4:00 pmThey're not wood screws are they? Don't they go through, with nuts & washers on the inside of the cabinet?

You can buy gun bluing at Walmart. It does a great job.

yep,, sorry i didn't mean to mislead buy using the term wood screws... there is no pressure or tension on the mount as the pressure is downward but my point was using steel round head bolts even if they were a wood screw is more then sufficient to accommodate a back bracket for a cygnet horn and firing them up and quenching them will give great results..
Keep in mind these bolts are behind the machine and the owner is the only person in the world that will know they are not original as if that should even make a difference.

Thanks everyone. I will just go to the hardware store and find 4 machine screws with the right thread.
