Quamar Lower Burr Carrier Bolt 8 x 16 mm

Quamar Lower Burr Carrier Bolt (8 x 16 mm)

Lower burr carrier bolt for the old Quamar T48 and T80 (Fiorenzato MS) grinders. Sized close to an M8 but cut with a 22 TPI / metric 1.25 pitch, and critically, it's a left-hand, reverse thread, a detail that trips up a lot of techs the first time they pull one of these grinders apart.

SPECIFICATIONS

• Thread: ~M8, 22 TPI / 1.25 metric pitch, left-hand (reverse) thread
• Drive: 17 mm wrench or socket

COMPATIBILITY

• Fits: Quamar T48, T80 (Fiorenzato MS) grinders, lower burr carrier

INSTALLATION

Straightforward with a 17 mm wrench once you know the thread direction, DIY for anyone comfortable pulling a lower burr carrier.

PRO TIPS

• Left-hand thread: turn clockwise to loosen and counterclockwise to tighten. Forcing it the "normal" direction is the most common way this bolt or the carrier gets damaged.
• No longer available from the manufacturer, stock on hand is limited, so don't round it off testing the thread direction.
