OK
So I've got a broken lever, and I've got the seat release mechanism off. I think the best way to repair it is to basically cut the shaft down (remove the last turn of coarse thread that is left after it was broken off), and make a sleave (probably find something in the bits and bobs draw). Anyway, thought I could cut off a wood screw and offer the plain shank of the woodscrew into the sleeve, slide this over the remains of the mechanism shaft and then get the lot silver soldered together.
What I need to know is how long was the coarse thread before it snapped off. If I know this, when I do my soldering job, I can get the overall thread length right, and buy (yes buy) a new pull up plastic bobble from Toyota and screw it on, as original.
So anyone know the length of the screwthread?
Cheers... Rob.
