First topic message reminder :
I just took a piece of 1 1/2 inch brass sink drain tubing, 17 gauge, and cut off a short 1 1/2 inch wide piece with a tubing cutter, then drilled two holes a 1/4 inch wide where the claws would be through both sides of tubing. I then cut 2 short pieces of 1 /4 inch mild steel rod and put them threw the holes as reenforcement for the claws. I also drilled one more hole opposite the claws for a hardened piece of allen wrench. I then took 2/3 rds of a tube of epoxy putty and filled in the center of the brass tube. I pushed the short piece of allen wrench into the bottom hole so the flat side will eventually face the tickler. I'll finish cutting out the claws and ticker slot next week. I'll test out this nut in my 600 lb cross bow that at the moment has a nice moose roller nut and let you guys know how it works. The brass tubbing is exactly 1 1/2 out side dia. This method is very easy to do and could use a liquid epoxy or acryillic as a filler. I'll post pics soon. cheers fiddler49
