People could taper them on a drill press using a standard 90 deg taper.

We would be more inclined to use a lathe.

Sorry, I meant the adapter.

David, I sent you a PM With the tracking url...

I am definately not a machinist, so could someone splain what a "90deg. taper" is or looks like?

Thanks Craig

Hi Craig!

I am engineer, but my first language is German. So my wording might not be the correct English. On a drawing you would actually get a 45 deg angle indicated for round material, resulting in 90 deg when you make it on a lathe (by turning it)

David posted a picture further up from his part. Have a look. I try to think of another example of a 90 deg tapered round material. A drill bit has 108 deg.

A pin-drive from a knock-off adapter, maybe ;-)

Or look at an ordinary wheel nut. They have an "angle" (taper, bevel) on the wheel side.

In our case, if the angle (or taper) from pin-drive and adapter are not the same, you create high forces on a small contact area. Worse, if that angle is not concentric, you create high forces on one side which will cause the pin to sit skew.

Then you can't get your wheel on. If you bend it straight, it will "relax" inside the wheel bend back and cause the wheel to stick.

Did that help?

Thanks Rick, for helping me out here :-)
Picture shows 90deg tool to countersink holes into the adapter.

I believe Dominik is attempting to describe an angle of 45 degrees on each side of the nut intersecting at an imaginary 90 degrees.

I guess it's all in the language used.
Here we would refer to that tool as a 45deg countersink. The taper on my vintage nuts I measure @ 60deg from the centerline, so you would refer to them as having a 120deg. taper? if I am understanding you correctly.
Also your english is much better than my non-existant german.

Thanks Craig

Yes, the Vintage pins are 60* as measured by David Kirkham yesterday.

Anybody want to start a thread about Fed-Ex delivery??

Fed ex says they couldn't deliver yesterday due to weather.

So, how WAS the weather in Provo yesterday? Blinding snowstorm?

Anyway David, sorry for the delay! As of now status is still "on the truck".

The weather in Provo was fine; I drive there no problem. UPS delivered to Kirkham twice yesterday. Go figure.

Just arrived! I just unpacked the box. I guess FedEx drivers need to learn how to drive in the snow...hahahahah.

Frankly, this is the first time we have ever had a problem on an overnight shipment from any of them, UPS, USPS, FedEX. In 14 years, I wouldn't say that is too bad.

I am buried right now but I will measure them all up soon. I am dying to find out what is going on.

Hmmm. I've got a set of Vintage adapters (don't know the "vintage") that have a 90 degree cup for the nut/pins.

Paul F · #15 (**permalink**) 01-09-2009, 07:21 PM

David,

Please also check the Compomotive pin I sent. Should have arrived today per UPS tracking.

David Kirkham · #16 (**permalink**) 01-09-2009, 07:41 PM

Gents:

I took a lot of pictures today and found a lot of very interesting things out. I will post more pictures later of what I found. I don't think what I found will make a lot of you happy campers.

The Trigo pins I have here have a 76-79 degree taper on them.

Today I received a Trigo pin from CNGreen. It has a 79 degree taper on it.

I received a pin from Paul F. today and it had a 76 degree taper on it.

I had several Trigo pins here in stock and they all had a 76 degree taper on them.

I then measured the HUB ADAPTER from CNGreen. It had a 90 degree taper on it.

I think we found why pins are loosening up and doing who knows all not-so-nice things.

I will post the autopsy report tomorrow.

David

On a final note for tonight, there has been some confusion on this thread as to how angles are measured in champhers, counterbores or countersinks. In every country that I know of, the angle of a countersink in a hole is measured by the total angle the cutter makes in the hole. In other words, you take a protractor and measure the angle the cutter makes on BOTH sides of the flutes. (Pictures will help...tomorrow).

Champers, on the other hand, are defined by 1/2 of the total angle. Therefore, a 45 degree champher makes a 90 degree countersunk hole. Champers are defined by degrees because you can make a 45 degree champer on the edge of a rectangular part--the other side of which can be on the other side of the casting, or not even there at all. On a hole, however, they measure both sides.

I know it can be confusing. I added a link to a countersink supplier. Notice the industrial standards (that are used all over the world, by the way).

60, 82, 90, 100, 120 degrees...76 degrees is not used anywhere I can find.

Unbelievable. David, it's a credit to you that you're taking on this project to try and help these guys. Nice going.

Dominik · #19 (**permalink**) 01-09-2009, 11:03 PM

Nice going! :-)

Please can someone fit the pins on a stud or bolt and turn them in a lathe or drill press.
I would like to know if they are concentric. Or how much they "run out".

You could also fit them (2) on a hub. Measure the gap with a vernier caliper between the two. Then turn them half a turn and measure again. Do that until you get the biggest difference.

Now that David mentions it, I took a look at the hub and pins on my Compomotive set and I see the same thing. I don't have an angle measureometer, but it's clear the pin has a smaller angle than the hub. I'll take some pictures and you will see the engagement of the pin is only partial, near the hole of the hub.
