Stewart Warner Armature Threads
Can some one tell me what the thread size is on a Stewart Warner horn armature ?
I am quite certain that it is left hand treads, but I cannot measure the diameter or threads on the broken one that I have. I appreciate any information.

Re: Stewart Warner Armature Threads
Will, ...I totally forgot about that I was supposed to send you a couple of horns. If you recall, I told you that I needed you to send me an e-mail to remind me!! I leave in the morning for San Diego. I can send you a S/W horn or two when I get back if you still need them by then.

Re: Stewart Warner Armature Threads
You're right, I forgot as well. I may have to learn to fix this issue. So far, I have heard of over 38 SW horns w/ broken armatures.

I believe that MSC industrial sells a range of LH taps and also taps in the odd thread sizes that appear some places on old Fords.

Bruce,
I believe Will is looking for a die, which MSC should have as well. Dudley |

Re: Stewart Warner Armature Threads
This seems to be a prevalent problem, so I guess I better try to figure a way to repair mine. Replacements are VERY hard to find and folks are quite proud of them if they have one.
So far I have identified the threads (thanks Don), acquired a tap and a die, ordered #8-32 left hand threaded rod from McMaster-Carr and have ordered the #27 (.144") tap drill. I have been able to cut off the broken remains of the original threads and have cut a flat surface and cut in a 'starter drill' and am waiting for the tap drill to get here. It is my intentions to tap a left hand thread, insert a piece of the threaded rod and loctite it in place.

Re: Stewart Warner Armature Threads
Sounds like a great plan. Unfortunately that exceeds my skill set. Please let us know how it turns out.
