A cheap Knight "C" Tool for those that need one
I just use a simple old 7/16" (box end?) wrench... I feel so dumb... how about an - open end wrench instead....

Sabotloader, I have read many of your posts and have great respect for your knowledge and appreciate the help you give everyone on this forum. However you are apparently not a mechanic. The boxed end wrench you are using is actually an open end wrench!

Shoot!!! Rogo - you are absolutely right... what was I thinking?
Worst part? I am actually a back yard mechanic - been fixing cars since I was 14 and the State of Idaho said I could drive... not to mention ATV's - Snow Mobiles and many other things...
but, you know they say one of the first things to go is the mind - DANG!!!

Well I have C tools but that is still a good thing to know. I loose stuff all the time. I am one of those people that pick up a tool, set it on the bench in front of me, and then never find it for two years or until I purchase a replacement tool. Then it falls off the bench and hits me on the toe.

I got a really good buy on some of the very first Knight Extreme Bolt Conversion's. The reason that I bought them was that these bolts were the original contract machined bolt housing. They are within +/- 1- 2000's of an inch in their tolerances...
The problem? the very first conversions were still using the 'C' tool hammer assembly which is also a lot tighter in tolerances and seems to have a stronger hammer spring.
I actually have one more of these assemblies I would like to sell - $50 + shipping... Comes with bolt - FPJ Breech Plug - & 20 red plastic jackets... but they did not have a 'C' tool in them....

The worst part if they are not there I know they are right here on the bench in front of me - but I can not see them. But then again there is a ton of stuff on the bench
And on the other hand as soon as I stop looking - they might show up.... I also threw in a couple of rolls of pink tape - the are loose in the main box.
I wrapped and installed your plug, but i had to use white tape... the pink tape was to thick and would start balling up before it seated... the white tape worked very well. When you get it use a flash light and look down the barrel - you should see white tape all around the bottom of the bore where the BP mates up with the bore.

Are you finding that the Lehigh conversion works better with these because of the tighter tolerances?
I am wondering if it would be worth buying a spare for my disc elite.
Thanks, Art
