How to fix defective AI hanging kit

[igotcorals]

So,

Ordered 3 AI 52's about 3 weeks ago and received 3 26's instead. Decided to keep them for the shop. Re ordered 52's and had a hard time finding the right hanging kits locally and only had one left from my original order.

Ordered 2 from amazon but one of the parts came defective it doesn't have a thread. Lol

Here is a pic

Can't get a break with hanging these lights. Does anyone have the tool to make a thread on it?

chance took some 310 threaded screws and torched them and bent them and made hooks works great chance is so innovative and handy I think that is the only reason I keep that skinny white boy around

robert do we still have them i think i gave most away or finnaly trashed them

 

[ChanceReef]

the other option is to through that AI in the air and grab your bat and smash the **** out of it lol

I didn't even torch them. Just took pliers and bent them hahaha

i have a thread dye at home, but i don't know what thread pitch the female end is, so i don't know if i have the right ones.

i'd be worried about cutting threads into a piece that small though. with pieces like that, they're normally caste, which means the metal is kinda brittle/malleable. by the time you cut threads into it, the thing will have lost a lot of its integrity.

granted, you're not hanging much weight, but still.. i personally wouldn't trust it to hold a piece of electrical equipment over a tank of water filled with expensive stuff..

I didn't cut any threads. I bought longer screws with the same pitch from the hardware store and bent the ends hahaha

Edit: but bryan is looking to cut his threads! Haha sorry

LOL I guess I just have to send the kit back and have a non defective one sent to me.

:sad:

I might have something that works. But when you're working with small pieces like that there's always a chance it breaks

Thanks but I'm getting it replaced new kit should be here tomorrow

It's defective as well.. The thread is too thick and wont screw in to the other piece. I cant catch a break with these **** lights.
