i have a vintage Rogers hi hat stand that has a bracket that I assume had a stripped hole drilled out and tapped for a bigger bolt. The original part is a wingnut and was replaced by a big ugly bolt.
I have an extra original rogers wingnut and decided to increase its diameter and thread size so it fits the enlarged hole.
Increase the diameter and thread size?? you ask?
Yep.
Just getting started. First turn it down make it smaller to make it bigger:
