AlexAndChristine  > Home Machine Shop > Lathe > Daruma++ bolts Version 2 (on South Bend 9A)
These custom fasteners will be used on Mark Vande Kamp's Goodrich. They secure a fender stay and allow a rack to be installed without disturbing the fender setup. The fender stay is secured by a tiny M5 set screw which is run down a hole through the center of the bolt. The rack attachs with a M5x10mm bolt which goes into the same hole.

This photo essay shows how I made one of these fasteners.

AlexAndChristine > Marking off key locations.  Most of the dimensions on this fastener don't need to be exact.  This is being made out of 1/2" diameter 303 stainless steel stock.
There are 3 pieces to our fastener.  The part that I'm making on the lathe.  A tiny M5 set screw which holds the fender stay.  A M5x10 stainless socket cap screw will hold the rack in place.
AlexAndChristine > Turning down the right side of the bolt to 9.25mm.
AlexAndChristine > Turned.
AlexAndChristine > Drilling a 5mm cross hole for the fender stay.  I actually made a pilot hole first with a center bit, but didn't take a photo of that.
AlexAndChristine > Taking off a tiny bit of the OD to clean up the area around the fender hole.  Without it there is sharp flashing exposed from drilling the hole.
AlexAndChristine > Drilling a pilot hole for the fender fixing screw and rack mounting hole.
AlexAndChristine > Opening up the hole to 4.2mm.  We'll tap it fit a M5 bolt.
AlexAndChristine > Tapping (by hand).  Sorry about the blurry photo.
