Author Message   Harold Posted on Sunday, February 21, 2010 - 02:53 pm:        The nut that holds the trip meter reset knob has vibrated off. Does anyone know the size and thread pitch for this nut?   Sleez Posted on Sunday, February 21, 2010 - 04:01 pm:        i got mine straight from buell, sent for free, about 10 years ago, when they did such things! not sure what the specs are...anyone else???   Ratbuell Posted on Sunday, February 21, 2010 - 04:06 pm:        Parts lookup shows it as a part of the reset cable package. I bought one years ago, I'll dig thru my receipts tomorrow and find the part number...   Sleez Posted on Sunday, February 21, 2010 - 04:16 pm:        yep, can't get it separately, need to buy the whole assy.   Ratbuell Posted on Sunday, February 21, 2010 - 06:30 pm:        Nah, I bought it separate, it crosses over to an older HD part (80s ElectraGlide, IIRC). Like I said, I'll look up my receipt tomorrow at work.   Harold Posted on Monday, February 22, 2010 - 06:22 am:        Thanks guys. It has to be a regular nut of some size, and with the plastic threads of the knob, I could always cross thread something close on it.   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, February 22, 2010 - 08:58 am:        7518 is the HD part number. It's aluminum instead of plastic. I used a generous coating of threadlock when I put mine on - no issues since Oh, and we have 14 of them in stock. They're $3 each...but they do work perfectly.   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, February 22, 2010 - 09:00 am:        Hm. Just checked, they come up obsolete. Maybe I'll get a couple spares, just in case....   4dwuds Posted on Monday, February 22, 2010 - 09:29 am:        Lost mine also, dug through my nuts & bolts box and found a Brass plumbing fitting that fit perfect. Shined it up and looks better than factory. I think it is the nut part for a 1/2" compression fitting. Home Depot saves the day again.   Dan9460 Posted on Monday, February 22, 2010 - 11:12 am:        I have the opposite problem, cant get the nut off without damaging it is there a trick to it - manual is vague   Harold Posted on Monday, February 22, 2010 - 06:18 pm:        Well I took the suggestion of 4dwuds, and went to Home Depot to buy a 1/2 inch compression nut. It looked a little big, so I bought a 3/8 also. It was, but the 3/8 fit good. You have to drill out the top to 1/2" to get it to fit over the knob, but being brass, it wasn't very hard to do.
