Dennis,
I'd be interested in one of your spindle thread protectors if you still have some available.? How do we go about getting funds and info to you?
Would also be interested in thread dials if you decide to make some, or even just one of the gears.

Hi Chris
?
You can send a check to Dennis Turk PO Box 683 McMinnville,
Oregon. 97128.? Make it $25 and that will cover the freight. Be sure to include
your return address.

Thanks Dennis.
I have an envelope ready and will drop it at the post office next time I'm in town.

BTW, I'm not in any hurry.? Sounds like you have a lot going on right now so whenever you have time...

Received one of Dennis' spindle nose protectors.? It's currently the nicest part of my Dalton.? Thanks for making them available, Dennis. I noticed the ID has stepped threads with the smaller set fitting my spindle.? Is this so it fits the Lots 3-5 with the smaller threads and the lot 6 with the larger or is there another reason ? Anyhow, some before and after pics...

No Chris the spindle nose on the Lot 2 3 4 and 5 are all the
same. ?I may have just given a bit of extra clearance on for the registration shoulder
behind the thread.? When the spindles are brand new the OD of the thread will
be the same diameter as the registration shoulder but over the years of use the
threads tend to wear down so they seem smaller in diameter than? the registration
shoulder.

Dennis ---This is Terry from St.Petersburg Florida hope all is well at your end . Not sure if this will get to you or not but was wondering do you have any Spindle Nose Protectors left ? If you do sure would like to get one from you.

Hi Terry.? I bought several of these couplers online a few years ago. They fit my Dalton spindle.? I don't recall what I had in mind for them, as I have an original spindle protector somewhere. Anyway, I found them by searching for couplers with the relevant thread specification.? I think they are a standard item for the forks of custom motorcycle builds.? Let me know if you can't find them and I will try to retrace my steps, though it was a while ago. John Molburg?

Here is one example. ?
I also got several hefty?nutes with the correct thread.? They have the advantage that they are carbon steel, so they can be easily machined.? Just search 1 1/4 12 coupler?
