PAMman Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 When I saw this posted on the Paneristi site it made me think that if you had a standard 24mm springbar and a Panerai screw, that it might be possible to cut the slot end off the screw, drill the inside of it and fit it over the tip of the springbar. You would need to use only the end and leave enough room for compression. Alternatively, the end of a springbar could be built up using solder, which could be shaped and slotted to look like a slotted screw end. Don't forget most people need only one of these so it might be worth the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I don't know if anyone has already posted this link, but it may be the solution for those who have stripped the threads in the lugs of their Pannies. http://www.network54.com/Forum/353393/thre...ial+Spring+Bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Thanks, I've been looking for that exact thing. (ed. to add) That is an interesting place, seems to have Davidsen's parts but at a higher price. Those spring bars are nice, but too much. 45 (usd)? for one set?

V Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I think river is selling them as well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Great idea. Wonder how many sellers there are of the 47mm spring bars...bet those are hard to find. I fill the hole with a structural epoxy, and sometimes it can form some new threads...but in any case, it will hold the bars in place, that is unless your replacing the strap all the time.

They work great and look just as good as screws. -- M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
