Size/type of nuts and bolts in Bush DAC90
At the moment, I'm restoring a Bush DAC90. Meanwhile, the set is functioning OK. To finalize the project, I need some bolts. Firstly, two bolts to fix the chassis into the bakelite case, secondly four bolts to fix the backcover to the case. Of course, I do have the usual box of nuts and bolts, coming from old radio's, but nothing fits. As a "continental", all my nuts and bolts are obviously in millimeters (m3, m4 etc.), while the nuts and bolts used in de DAC90 are probably in (parts of) an inch. Could someone help me out with a descripting of the bolts needed in the mentioned spots? To fix the chassis into the casing, something with a diameter between 4 and 5 mm is needed (m4 is too small); to fix the backcover, something with a diameter between 3 and 4 mm is needed (m3 is too small).

Hi Gerard,
I think they are all BA type. Send me a PM with your postal address and I'll try to sort you some out. rgds Colin

Re: Size/type of nuts and bolts in Bush DAC90
If it is between 3mm and 4mm it'll be 4BA (3.6mm). Other common sizes are 6BA which is 2.8mm and 2BA which is 4.7mm.
I found a good article here http://www.internationalcockpitclub....le_threads.htm |

Re: Size/type of nuts and bolts in Bush DAC90
Dear Colin,
Do greatly appreciate your effort, to provide me with some fitting "nuts and bolts". I don't see any possibility to send you a PM (button not activated?), so I don't know how to reach you personally, but I would like to send you - as a token of appreciation - the redrawn schematics of the Bush DAC 90 or the DAC 90A (redrawn by myself, so no copyright problems). But I need an e-mail address for that purpose... Maybe the moderator could intervene? Regards, Gerard Jongbloed |

Re: Size/type of nuts and bolts in Bush DAC90
Gerard, I believe you need to make a minimum number of posts on the forum before you become eligible to use the PM system. Not sure what that number is though. I'd like to see your redrawn schematics but there's no rush. If you can't use the PM system now (see Paul's comment above) then you soon will be able to and we can exchange email addresses then.
regards Colin

Re: Size/type of nuts and bolts in Bush DAC90
He has reached the minimum post count number and is in the correct usergroup for sending and receiving PMs, which is why I said above that all settings were OK. If it was due to the post count limit I would have said so.
I'm closing this anyway as it has served its purpose. |
