Base Reassembly (B)
Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2009 5:05 pm
This thread shows a method to reassemble a Mark V base(way tubes).
Notice the possible problem with tightening the WAY tube set screws on the end casting with the hinge. This is perhaps the reason they were loose when I picked it up! The hinge pin needs to be cleaned up anyway! We will resume 'reassembly' in the next pix. Hinge pin etc. will be reassembled later(I need to clean it up!).
This pix shows the bore into which the way tubes are inserted into the hinge end casting. Notice the definite stop at the bottom.
Position the set screws in BOTH way tube bores so as to be just short of protruding into the bore. Notice the set screw has a serrated cup end!
Put both WAY tubes into the end casting and securely tighten the set screws. Notice the end casting has been separated from the lower portion.(the hinge pin has been removed. It IS easier to reassemble this way!
This thread is one of several which illustrate a method for reassembling a Mark V. Please post a reply and inform me of any errors or confusion. They WILL be fixed!
