Some of my projects take a long time, and this 14" face plate one is one of those...
When BrentH came to Calgary (was it a year ago?) I bought a D1-6 faceplate from @Hacker. As I described in another thread, I was looking for a set of studs for it. I *thought* I had an inexpensive set from Shars -- but when they arrived, they were M18X1.25 instead of 5/8 X 18 tpi... OOPS. I set them aside and decided that for a time I wouldn't spend good money after bad.
Just 3 weeks ago A guy on HM was looking for a metric set of D1-6 studs, so I was going to give him mine. After a lot of PMs, it turned out that he had a set of imperial studs he couldn't use -- so -- we decided to trade.
His studs fit my plate fine, and today I added the 5/16 X 5/8 retaining cap screws. Finally done, and the faceplate fits perfectly! (hats off to @Hacker)
