I used a brass wire brush. The threads in the tubes are steel- the fork
cap is aluminum and its' threads are what gets cleaned out.
Also-they are the same size/pitch threads as on later models. At least
it's the same as my G5 fork caps (although the design is different so
you can't use late model caps).

Guys, Not long ago there was some banter on the list about fork cap threads. It would be real nice if I could get a tap. Did someone actually have one? If so, would that someone be willing to borrow it to me? OR I believe the pitch is 1.0. But not sure of the size, besides the fact that it is "pretty big". Might try to clean up the threads with a smaller 1.0 tap. Use it like a thread file, but as I can't really see anything obvious, I don't have high hopes for that idea. Thanks, Kev |
