Re: mc-1 upper to lower nyloc nuts
ya achris, i'm replacing them because i think there from '75 and the nyloc part is tired imho. least compared to a new one.
For the Gen II, yes, but the MC-1 used 'standard' 316 SS....
hum....
well, that's one of the nuts.
what ever they are, i got oem ones on order. pn 11-34933.
putting the file to it didn't do much for me.
1. it's not magnetic
2. that's two swipes with a single cut rat tail file. that's a pretty deep cut for ss. more like what i'd have expected from brass, after i got through the chrome plating.
3. as the pic shows, the metal is not yellow as i'd expect brass to be. it does look like ss.
i must say, i've never had a file do that much damage to any of the stainless steel i deal with. brass, yes, that much damage... i don't know what it is... unless there's a softer stainless steel than i'm used to seeing.
