Anyone know the size of the set nut in a BT3 neck bolt?

Post by HighZenBerg »

I misplaced the set nut that secures the neck bolt on my BT3. I'm thinking of looking for a compatible one at the hardware store - anyone happen to know the sizing?

The neck bolt is 3/8" if it hasn't changed lately.
She told me to come but I was already there

Yes as Radiv posted, (ALL) BoyToy and RD dolls have a 3/8-16 bolt thread in the neck bolt port and replacement eyebolts can be gotten from hardware stores like Lowes or Home Depot here is the states and other stores as well. :D

3/8"-16.
In the case who you need to rework the thread you need an 3/8" UNC thread cutting tap.

Thanks for the responses everyone, but I'm not sure we're all talking about the same thing here. I was referring to the tiny nut that goes in from the back of the neck bolt to keep the head from wobbling around. I thought those are called "set nuts" but I could be wrong. If i recall correctly, it was a couple of millimeters large, at most.

Now I know what you are referring to as you explained the location better. That is a Setscrew that locks the skull bolt in place to prevent it from backing out when the dolls head is turned from side to side! :thumbs_up: Screws have threads on the outside and nuts have threads on the inside. :D That setscrew is if I remember, is a 10-32 thread and uses a 5/64 allen or hex wrench to tighten and loosen it. Joe can confirm the size as I would have to take one out of one of my dolls to verify the size. Hope that is a better answer as to what you need! :D

Aha! Learn something new every day! :lol:

Now that you got my terminology straight, we'll wait for confirmation from Joe. :D

Hey there Sir,

I took the time to remove the setscrew from my body D doll's neck post, the one you asked about and verify the sizes to help you out. The screw is indeed a 10-32 thread pitch and uses a 3/32 allen/hex style wrench to remove and install it. My hex wrenches that I use for this purpose are the T-handle style that have a fairly long reach to get at the screw and makes it SO much easier to do the job! The screw is stainless steel but a standard non stainless screw would work fine providing NO moisture gets to it and starts it to rusting! :D

Here is a photo of the setscrew and the T-handle wrench I used, you can see the size marking on the handle! :thumbs_up:

Awesome - thanks so much dodgeman for verifying the size! I'll need to get several of them considering how they're like individual grains of rice that disappear into my shag rug.
