I think Keta is developing S/S star wheels but is trying to locate the right taps for the threads which I believe are buttress threads.      Rudy

The 114H is.  I need to get back on this but it's irrigation season and I'm supper busy this year due to the alleged drought.

Hi Bob,

those stars are being sucked up in Hawaii.  Nice bling.  I will not run aluminum (except for my ProGears) because they can strip out if you are not careful.  For now, I'd stick with the brass ones.

Bryan, you know just from the posts I put up here that I'm always looking for MAX drag, hex washers, adding another cf washer to the stack.....so I'm sure I would strip that aluminum star out in a NY minute. I'll stayawayfrom this blog and sit on my wallet until something better comes along. Thanks all you guys for the input and talking me of the ledge.
Bob
