Does anyone know the following dimensions of an FJ80 (555) TRE?

They don't have to be super-precise... I just need them for a CAD drawing I am doing on the 'puter and I want the tre's to be roughly to scale. I've never seen one of these fj80 ones in person.

Thanks!

A: 40mm - 41mm
D: 14mm. Not sure of pitch, but it's coarse.

B & C are difficult in the picture. It depends on thickness of the arm. But,

From the bottom up, the threads are about 22mm long to the start of the taper. The taper to the body is about 25mm. The body is about 28mm thick.

The shank is 23mm, and over-all length is 125mm.

Here ya go Mike!

A= 1.50"
B= 2.75"
C= 1.25" approx. ( can measure with one installed if needed but there is lots of snow out there... )
D= M12

Anything else?

A 1.615"
B 1.350"
C 1.650"
D 0.545"

Oh wait, there are more responses now! Houlster's and Chris' #'s jive, but Bud's the odd man out! I Feel like I am playing Millionair and I just asked the audience!!! LOL!!


Who should I trust here?

BTW... just jokin' about the Millionair thing. :jester: Thanks for all your speedy responses! The numbers were helpful.

The only thing not jiving is the thread size. It is 14mm, not 12. B & C may look different, but as I said, it's hard to measure because it depends on the arm thickness and how deep the taper is cut into the arm. If you add up our measurements though, we all come out to about 3" from the top of the body to the end of the threads.

Variations in the body diameter 'A' can be just from who manufactured them. I measured a 555 joint. Maybe the stockers are a hair smaller. There is a casting or forging ridge around the body too so it also depends on where you measure the diameter at.

While we're on FJ80 rod end dimensions, what pitch is the 23mm threaded shank. I haven't had a chance to measure one yet. I was guessing 1.5, but I dunno.
