Alright guys so after a lot of reading i decided to take up the challenge.
I found a place that helps to remove almost all back lash from a stock setup, while in the long run this is not ideal it will be great for making new parts and for the short time.
So, What I did was take the original Acme threaded nuts and cut them mostly in half, drilled and tapped to holes, this creates a somewhat rudimental anti-backlash nut.
The way this is achieved is by applying pressure to the outer sides of thread, when screwing in one direction one side of the nut will have the force applied, when the screw is reversed the opposite side of the nut will already be preloaded onto the thread meaning little backlash(at least in theory)
Here is the first mod, please expect more but this won't be a fast build!
