OT- Can't remember the proper name for a part, not Model T.
By Peter C. Strebeck on Wednesday, February 17, 2016 - 12:13 pm:Just going through and trying to clean-up/clean-out some parts cabinets and I can't remember the proper name for these.
They are 1/2" tall/long, with a 7/16" ID and a 5/8-18 thread. Somewhere in my head I know what they are called and what they are for, I just can't remember right now. Any help would be appreciated, any ideas you might have might knock my "saved" information loose.
