Solex 40 Pl pin (set screw) w/nut

[jashford]

I posted this in the wanted section with no results so I thought I would try here. I guess I could have one made but I know just one would be expensive. I would think the unit cost would drop I made a larger quantity. Any interest?

I have five of these, obviously need the sixth. This is the set screw that holds the auxiliary venturi in place (so it won't rotate).
Part number is 90110892600 but seems to be NLA.
I know it's a long shot but does anyone have an extra laying around?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

Best, John

John, not sure of you or a friend has a lathe. If so this would be a very easy part to make from some threaded bar stock.

I've made similar adjustment screws by buying a correct size/pitch bolt and modifing it. I just cut to length and cut the adjust slot in the top. It's not pretty but definitely functional. I don't have a lathe :-(

Interesting. Just realized that the adjusting screw for a rocker arm is the same diameter and thread pitch and comes with the slot for the screwdriver. Now if I could just find a junk one so i don't have to destroy a good one.

jashford,
VW rocker adjuster, same as a 911 adjuster, minus the swivel foot. 043 109 451, and the thin nut to go with it, N 111 152 1. Got to be millions of those floating around.

To make the pointy end, just chuck the slotted end into your drill motor, slotted end first. Then hold the exposed threaded end at an angle to your grinder wheel. Make the drill rotate opposite the grinder wheel and grind until u have the point at the desired angle.
