I have this assembly I created for a Triclamp sight glass, but it needs bolts to run between the two flanges.
I know I could draw the bolts or use the toolbox, except I'm not quite sure how to use the toolbox to give me the bolts I need.
The physical part itself uses a rod that's threaded on both ends and bolted down with cap nuts.
Could someone be so kind as to show me how to use the toolbox or point me to a tutorial of some kind on it's basic use?
I did not use the hole wizard for the holes.....but now that you mention it I just might go back and do that lol.
I can't locate the right part from MMC, but did use a smart fastener to run lag bolts through the holes, only now I can't get a nut on the end.
If I add to the bottom stack it puts the nut on the bottom side of the top flange, instead of on the end of the bolt.
Did you go back and recreate the holes with the hole wizard? If not, then smart fasteners probably doesn't recognize where the bottom stack should be.
Yes I did, the problem is that the sight glassassembly is made with two flanges, so in actuality the bottom stack needs to be on the top of the second flange so as to bolt the glass tube between the two flanges
Assuming you've used the hole wizard to create your holes, you'll click on the 'Smart Fasteners' button on the assembly tab in the assembly. Define your needs and accept.
However, I'm not sure that Toolbox has threaded rods. If I were you, I'd got to McMaster-Carr and get the models you need from there.
