Looking for a part

[wackyscot]

I have a large pair of Strathspey 25x100 binoculars - I had a calamity with them 1st time on a tripod they fell off the threaded screw and stripped the female thread within the mount, see picture below. Does anyone know where I could get a replacement part, or are they beyond repair??

Take it to an angineering workshop and ask them to helicoil it for you. That will put new steel threads in.

As Mandy said an engineering workshop is the answer. I would be more concerned with my binoculars if they fell off my tripod. Hope they are okay.

Easy fix, get your local engineering shop to drill it and tap it to 3/8th's then use a 1/4, to 3/8, Screw Adapter if you want to keep 1/4 thread.

 

If you were local I'd do it for you..

I'd agree with the above, an engineering workshop will probably do it for a few beer tokens. If they use a threaded insert then you would be able to keep the same internal thread .

I have 2 places I use depending on what I need ... one does sheet steel fabrication, the other does metal fasteners and fixings. Both are great for little jobs which only takes them 5 mins.
