  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

What part/part number is this?

Definitely! I have about 5 or 6 friends that are coming and another CH member from North Jersey may be there too. I'll PM you contact info.
 
I'm going to say this even though it's fixed because I haven't seen any other comments about it, but according to that microfische, that cap would have to be ordered with item #1, meaning you can't get it individually, but it does come with the hole shebang.

By the way, a thread insert kit is a good something to have laying around, even if it is expensive. Even if you don't want to risk doing it yourself, at least you'll have the inventory on-hand so someone else can do it for you. Most any machinist who can tie his shoes can do it, having the parts on hand is usually the issue. Standing in the guy's doorway with the needed parts in-hand on a Friday afternoon could save a weekend as opposed to him ordering them and it getting done on Tuesday. By the way, those bolts really should be torqued. Might not be a bad idea to do it if you didn't. Too tight can be just as bad as too loose. I didn't see anywhere on here where you mentinoed torquing, so if you did, sorry for the superflous info.
 
Thanks mxracer.:thumbsup: In the early posts, Dirtdame pointed out that it can't be ordered as it comes with the head. I can definitely see where having an insert kit on hand wouldn't be a bad thing either.

I didn't use a torque wrench this time because it's pretty hard to get my torch wrench in there without removing the tank. I should look for the type that won't let you put too much torque on the bolt. For the record, my problem was too tight which I knew was likely to occur and went ahead anyway and turned it another 5 to 10 degrees.
