Squeezelock mounting pieces

[Mr Grinch]

This is the last of the measurements including the shaft of the screw to obtain nut insert size

What’s the thickness when including the raised island?
What’s the threading?

The thickness with the raised Island is in the pic included above your reply (it only allows me 5 pics per post) as for the thread pitch, my gauges are at work I’ll bring one of the screws in and get that info. But the other pic in the second post gives the shaft size which should narrow the pitch down to two. One for fine and one for coarse.

Got it; missed your second post.

Fastener could be an M4 but some of the other dimensions seem to be inch-derived, and you measured at the shoulder, so I'd bet it's an ANSI #6. Did some rounding estimation assuming the engineers were inch-people.

...and did a quick-and-dirty knob side just for completeness:

Definitely looking good. Off you need more measurements on the knob I can get those when I get home. I might dig out my metric small fastener set and see if I can figure out the size.

I find it rather interesting I can still buy the knob and (I bought a set just 2 days ago and they had a bunch in stock) but the barnacle nuts are nowhere to be found.

Let's confirm the threading (I still suspect it's #6-32, but could be M4x0.7) and need the screw length:

Also, when you assemble it, do the screw threads engage with the plastic on the nut side at all, or is the plastic clear of the threads and they only engage with the actual nut?

What I’ve seen the thumb screw goes in on the flat side of the barnacle nut. When it’s in the knife sheath you can’t really see off it engages the plastic at all but I would assume it doesn’t. The threaded shaft isn’t really that long (remember, this goes through the bcd then the sheath plastic and into the barnacle nut)

Really? Oh, I have to rethink that piece then; I assumed the thumbscrew went in the plastic bump side of the nut first, and the bump was to self-center on a matching feature in the sheath, facing toward the thumbscrew. No?
