Armstrong fuse to universal stab(flat mount )

1

Has anyone done 3D printing to put an aftermarket stab to an armie fuse ?

Thanks

I’ve thought about this in the past. It’s difficult to solve for Armstrong due to the threads being in the stab and the hole spacing being different to most.

Given that we will need threads in the adaptor itself, I don’t think 3D Printing will be strong enough.

I could machine something in G10 with stainless steel threaded inserts, but would like to see a bit of interest before I bury a lot of effort into this. I’ll check back on this post to see if there is enough interest and then I’ll have a go at something.

I’m waaaaayyyy too easily distracted. I couldn’t help myself. The thickness is dictated by the standard Armstrong screw length and also the need for decent screw engagement to bolt down the aftermarket stab (will need 12mm long M6 CSK). The fore/aft position of the stab is dictated by the need to avoid the required Armstrong screws and not create too much of a stress concentration.

Why not M5 barrel nuts?

I did consider this, but discounted the idea for the following reasons:

  • Hard to get in torx and even if I could it wouldn’t be T30
  • Would need 2 tools to assemble
  • More loose and non-standard parts
  • It doesn’t change the overall thickness since I still need engagement of the M6 screws assembling the stab

Unless I’m missing something?
