What pitch is your square thread?
I guess you wont be out in the shed today because of the heat.

a little progress today made a retaining ring for switch it will be held with a few screws from the rear
so I will now have to rewire the battery holder
next time we will start on the head.
Were you planning on using an e-switch? The tail switch is now the main switch or lock-out function?
