Hello people. 2 questions: 1)I'm curious how many people have used the custom made turret bolt described here and has there been any issues with it? 2) Is it easy to visually inspect if the bolt has been overtorqued? thanks in advance.

Is it possible to do another production run of turret bolts? There seems to be some demand.

Last time I asked, the supplier said he needed a batch of 100 to be effective.
I still think this would be most efficient in the far east. Is there any members in China reading?

I hadn't thought about
china. the company I work for makes a lot of stuff in
china. I am a bit leary about quality. Still I can ask the Quality Manager in china if he can recommend a shop. On a related note, is the MK10 and current mk25 retainer the same SP I would install in a MK5?

Maybe Bryan at VintageDoubleHose.com would be interested on having some made. I will ask him when I talk to him.
I can't remember, how much did they end up costing the last time?

The last batch costed $12.55 each including bulk shipping to the US.
The MK20/25's also use a round head with a hex broach like the MK10.

If we do a group buy I would be interested in 5 retainers
Bryan at VintageDoubleHose.com just sent me an email saying that he is getting some quotes on having them made. He will know price and delivery date in a few days.
He is having a lot of regulator parts made at a reasonable price. He seems to have a good relationship with several machine shops (domestic and abroad, in Canada, and I think in Asia also). This is a relatively simple part, so it should not be any issues for him to get some made… we will see in a few days.
Note: His website started as mostly vintage double hose, but there is a section of single hose in the VDH message board and his store carries a lot of single hose regulator parts.
