Balls, balls and balls

[Swarfing]

Guys I have a 2005 ballnut that i did the proverbial ball dropping trick months ago. I've just gone to put it back together to find that i still have all the balls, problem is one of the orange direction changing plugs is missing? I don't know how as i have not touched it. Can't find it anywhere. Does anybody have spare one going cheap from an old one they can sell me? i don't want to have to buy another nut for the sake of a plug

Cheers

I think you'll be lucky to find one, unless someone has an empty 2005 nut.

They're a tricky shape, but all the plastic bit does is guide the bearings from one channel, over one to the next... so it shouldn't be that difficult to make something that works. Would be interesting to try it, but probably best to just buy one.

Ive got that 1610 ballnut with most of the pieces your welcome to parts of that if its of any use. I suspect its entirely different though... being 16mm

I think i've got an empty 1605 in the shed, dont know if that would work?

The plastic bits are different sizes, since the channels they interact with are different dimensions...so assorted empty nuts are much help here. I've not got any 2005 nuts since it's rarely the best size screw to use.

Thanks guys, i have a working 1605 and check, the pitch is the same so maybe close? just hope i don't loose the balls out of that one finding out.
