Title: Daisy wheel repair.
Post by: moosehead on June 06, 2018, 02:57:20 PM
What's the best way to fix a daisy wheel that has broken the center, rivet.
Screw, washer and nut or pop rivet?

What kind of stainless locknut?  The ones I see in the stores use nylon. I assume that would melt.

Instead of locknut, what about lock washer and regular nut? Those can be SS.

I like to add a spring to the stack as well.

I've never seen any prevailing-torque locknuts in my local hardware stores. They might hide them, if they have them at all.

Many different types of prevailing torque locknuts. Readily available at fasteners specialty stores. I use them for the taco handle and lid bale.
Samples from Lok-Mor below.

Found SS prevailing nuts last week at my ACE Hardware.  Have a bunch now in my rehab kit.

Had to look up what a prevailing nut is. and I worked at an Ace Hardware in college! Always heard them called split lock nuts. Hadn't considered that. I am going to try that route instead. Thanks for the idea folks!

  Holds tension but not to the point you cannot rotate the wheel.
