Hi all, I've just been asked for some help in fixing a Mk II Airsporter. It has a problem that that I've not seen before but assume that it's not a unique one and would be interested in hearing of other peoples solutions or ideas.
The problem is with a stripped thread in the underside of the air chamber, at the front near the loading tap. It's for the short stud (1/4 inch dia.) threaded at each end, that holds the cocking mechanism in place.
It's a blind hole, the obvious route is to drill and tap it to a larger size, then turn a stud with suitable thread at one end to fit the larger hole.
Anone here done it before?
Mel.
