Posted: Mon Apr 15, 2013 9:43 am Post subject: K&M Peg Base Help! |
|
|
Hey Everybody,
I recently made a not so informed decision and bought the K&M 4 peg base and 4 adapters for my horns to replace a hercules stand I'm trying to get rid of. I finally have every piece here, and low and behold, my pegs don't fit the adapters. I've done a bit more research and found that they make certain pegs that are meant only to fit the adapters. So my question is, do you all have a way to make the pegs that come with legs fit onto the adapters that I purchased? I'm not in a huge rush to get this figured out but I would like to do it fairly cheaply. Any ideas would be super helpful!
Thanks |

If the hole in the adaptors isn't too big, you can get a tap that matches the peg thread and re-tap the threads in the adaptor or conversely get a die that matches the hole threads and recut the peg screw threads. |

step one would be to call K&M and see if maybe they can do anything for you. _________________ ~Zack

It looks to me that the peg portion of the adapter is the same size and thread as the older 3-leg individual instrument trumpet and flugel stands. When they went from 3 to 4 legs the threaded part got significantly larger. If this is what you're dealing with I doubt there's any easy way to convert. _________________ "I'm an engineer, which means I think I know a whole bunch of stuff I really don't."
