Zero 510 help

Total height 11mm, top bit must be 1mm thick at least and the metal frame of the zero must be about 2mm so should only be 8mm below the zero top plate

M3 brass insert that phtumshk linked to look like a good idea, you could heat the old one with a soldering iron to loose the glue and pull the old one out. Or if it is really stuck force a self tapper in and blow torch the self taper then grab with mole grips an pull. Obviously have a bucket of water to drop anything hot in and do it somewhere sensible, the more bit you can hold in clamps of vice the easier it would be.

Thanks for the links/advice/ideas guys.... First job is to get the old one out without damage then have a more accurate measure...

Heat softens epoxy nicely

Just held a soldering iron on it for a while and its finally moved, not coming out yet but a bit too late now to attack with a dremel. Can see it isn't barbed so I'm happy it will come out with out damage so ordered a M3 brass insert.... Well a pack of ten if anyone else ever needs one...!

Try and hook it with a bit of wire or screw, let the mod hang on that while heating it and it should come apart, otherwise too fiddly heating then pulling out in separate opps.
