Hi Trion

Just heat it up and bend it , then i dumped it in water  :dremel:   ,,, NOT THE CORRECT WAY but it works  :ddb:

Yer an inspiration Rob; I'm a'luvin' this thread! :beer:

I noticed in the pic of the finished 2-piece bronze nut that there are 2 allen setscrews and 2 SHCS's.  Is this how the backlash is adjusted?  The 2 setscrews are adjusted to spread the pieces apart to take out the slack then the SHCS's are locked down to hold it?

Knocked up a bracket to get the phase converter up off the floor and up on the wall  :dremel:  the wiring still needs running in
