Members b12670 Posted June 20, 2017 Members Share Posted June 20, 2017 I've got this cheap o Dean Vendetta that I just need a replacement toggle cap for. Problem is that it's the tiniest threads I've ever seen! Epiphone caps don't fit Too loose. I need to find out the thread diameter on this thing to order the right cap. Any help would be appreciated.

Moderators daddymack Posted June 20, 2017 Moderators Share Posted June 20, 2017 been through this as well...could be metric, could be American Standard, you need both the diameter and threads per inch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thing has the smallest threads I've ever seen! I actually had to squint to see if there were any threads at all! They are THAT tiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members badpenguin Posted June 20, 2017 Members Share Posted June 20, 2017 Here's what I do in a pinch: take out your handy lighter, GENTLY heat the screw in side of the switch tip, press onto the switch, squeeze, cursing because it's a bit too hot, finished.

Moderators daddymack Posted June 20, 2017 Moderators Share Posted June 20, 2017 Many times that is the better course of action...the amount of time you can spend [read: waste] trying to match the threads is more costly than the price of a new switch....

Like filling the hole with crazy glue then drilling a very small pilot hole into the dried glue. But the lighter way might be worth a shot too. The switch itself is fine, so it seems like a waste to pull it out because I can't find the right threaded cap. thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
