4l60 TV cable stud construction

[kenh]

Needed to make a stud to adapt a newer style throttle body for my 90 truck. Easy peasy. Except.. ...

Should have threaded the stud that goes through the arm before I finished the rest of the machining. In my defense, this is rot gut steel. Machines terrible and not very strong,though, suitable for the application. Bed time now so will start over tomorrow night

Dammit!

You gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away and know when to run.

Man I wish I had machining tools. then I could truly build anything.

taker easy!

This is a Taig lathe. Bought it when I had RC helicopters 35 years ago and used it to make parts rather than buy new. It has paid for itself.

Mine is an all manual model. All they had back in the day. https://taigtools.com/

Success! Fits the TV cable perfectly. Would have been done 90 minutes ago but an old time friend called. Total time, for a good part, about 30 minutes. On a proper lathe that would have been about 15 minutes.
