This isn't the steering wheel you mentioned in the other thread with the wrong thread pitch is it?

If it is, you don't mention that in the ad........

Yes, it is the same steering wheel. I used a 1.25 tap and it corrected the problem but know has less threads.
It will hold tight but I wasn't going to use thread-lok and get rid of a new cable.
Whoever buys it can thread-lok it if they are not satisfied.

Do you think I should edit it stating to use thread-lok anyways?

CD

Naw, I think you should leave it as is so the buyer that paid top dollar doesn't find out they're screwed until after they receive it.............

The pitch was corrected and it is not a high torque fastner.
The threads do not carry and load to speak of.
Using Thread-Lok would just ensure it stays put.
I don't see how screwing anyone fits into this.
If the parts were unusable or the description was false it would, but it's not.
Last thing I would do is screw someone on a sale.

Why are you selling it why are you not using it?

I would rather use one that has not gone from stock pitch to altered pitch back to stock pitch. If I didn't have extras it wouldn't be an issue.

There's definitely enough material there, why not just put a thread insert in it with red lock-tite and use it as is?

No one will ever know, assuming YOU use it.

Locking in the adjusting collar is well.......

You know, the more I read this the more it pisses me off!

Not good enough for you, but you can sell it for top dollar and let some other unsuspecting buyer use it???

Good thing there's no CV boots on an FL250 huh..............

It is strong enough not to need a thread insert.
I have never used thread inserts before. I don't know to go about it.
That does not make me a dumbass. I just don't know.
Drilling and re-threading or thread inserts are just extra work not needed.
I have more so. No big deal to me.

I do not understand why you are pissed off.
No, it is not good enough for me. Yes, I can sell it.
Unsuspecting is not the right word. The part is in great usable condition and
no problems could be made with it.
Top dollar is your point of view.

I'm pissed off because you're selling a "piece of crap" that's "not good enough for you" and you have no care that you're dumping it on others at a "much higher" than normal price.

It is NOT usable, you stated that yourself.

YOU CAN NOT LOCK-TITE A PART THAT NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED BY IT'S VERY NATURE........ THAT'S WHAT IT'S THERE FOR.......

I say "top dollar" because you have been conned into believing what you've been paying for parts from a particular eBayer is acceptable.

I say "conned" because he frequently sells parts above or WAY above dealer list price and labels them as "rare" or "discontinued" to raise his selling price even further. I've seen him charge as much as 3-4 times dealer price for some parts that were readily available yet listed as "discontinued" by him. Making profit I understand, but highway robbery.....

I have no problems if paying his rates are acceptable to you, it makes no difference to me, I've paid too much for items before just because I wanted them NOW.

You can buy loaded FL250 steering wheels on Ebay for $50 or less, fully functional, but you want a minimum of $75 for one that's missing a LOT of parts and has a MAJOR mechanical issue.

NOS parts or not it's still a PIECE OF CRAP..........

It is not crap.
It is functional in every way.
Less threads did not kill it.
I have no idea who you are talking about with the ebay stuff. I did not buy any of those pieces off of ebay except for the decal.
The cover is in far better condition than any other on ebay today. discontinued.
The grips are new NOS. discontinued.
The switch is new NOS. discontinued.

Who are you talking about on ebay?

Just because it is not good enough for me does not mean someone else cant have it if they want it.

Half your eBay feedback........

If you state that a cable needs to be permanently attached with lock-tite because of the ADJUSTER's threads, then it IS CRAP........

The only part you mentioned that's hard to come by is the plastic cover, everything else you can get NOS on eBay several times a year.

The fact that you don't get it, makes it all the worse.

Ok. Search eBay and get back with me today on prices for nos switches. You won't find the nos grips at all.
Oddatv is a good parts supplier. If you think he is high don't purchase from him.
Find all six parts today and stay under $75.
If you are the know-it-all you make yourself out to be when it comes to prices for those items show me.

Ahh, but the price has nothing to do with the issue here, I'm not here to defend myself, just others that might buy your crap.

Even if it was $5.00 it would still be a damaged part.

You stated that it was overpriced and i am letting you know by showing you it's not. The barrel adjusts fine with no problems.

Sure, until you use the lock nut a few times and strip the threads out........

You could not strip the threads by the nut even if you wanted to.
The simple mechanics of the throttle will surely never either.

I went back looking at everything I have purchased from different ebay users, dealerships, private sellers (some from this site), and even Randy B. He and I are wondering what you think is so overpriced. Honda is not making most of these parts anymore. Once they are gone that's it.
Do you sell these discontinued NOS parts cheaper? Do you know better where I or others should buy? Who has conned me with prices.
Share the names here for all to see.

I don't need to, most here know.

Browse the EvilBay section here and you'll see.

Randy is not an issue.

I have bought and sold 1000's of FL250 parts through eBay starting back 10 years ago, several of the guys selling on eBay now are putting major markups on their parts just because they can.

That doesn't make it right, that's what this forum is for, watching out for the other Pilot and Ody owners.

You're saying that the prices on eBay differ that much from people on this site or Odyssey Salvage? Can you give some examples? I want to know who you call cons.
Joe? Dereck? Everybody in general? If you want to watch out for everyone on this site tell me what's what.
I have bought just about every new part I could find for my restoration. I will be doing another after this one and it will be round two of more buying and selling.
I have perfect feedback and always have. I check into the people I buy from as much as possible...I have had one problem person so far...and everyone here knows who most likely.

These are two of the worst (IMO):

http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/oddatv1/

http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/derekandkat/

I have had bad dealings with the first and VERY bad dealings with the second.

I have bought from both of them. I have read on here about Derek but I have never had any issues with him.
I have never had any issues with Joe either. Joe has been a big help with parts and his prices are what they are.
They have some things that can not be purchased from servicehonda or others. So, until I can find the same parts cheaper I will purchase parts from them.
If you don't mind me asking...what did you get burned on?
