Honker Help!

As a quick fix you can simply find the correct size stainless steel or brass bolt.

SP used 3 different sizes in their regs, they are:

5/16- 24 .............. 7/16-20.................. 9/16-18

Herman, would you double check the smallest thread size? It looks to be the same size as a low pressure 3/8-24 port plug while the middle is the same as a 7/16-20 high pressure plug. Indeed they screw right into the respective ports.

Someone tell me when they find 7/16-20 bolts, please

EDIT: Never mind. Duh. McMaster-Carr

Rob, I got mine from the hardware store.

Bleep! you are correct Couv.....3/8-24...I have all 3 in front of me....

Thanks Herman. I was afraid we were going to find out the hard way that a 4th yoke screw size was going to ruin our party.

At any rate, if the op still needs the middle yoke screw, I have it. AND we now know there are common size screws/bolts that will work.

First of all I want to thank everyone for their help! Work has had me tied up and unable to respond. I did get to a couple of hardware stores in town and no one carries brass bolts in that size. The screw is bent so it has to be a new one. I talked to my buddy in St Simons and got a definite maybe on another bolt. I do have a stainless bolt in the right size and a rebuild kit on the way from VDH, thanks Brian.
