How are people putting theirs together? Here's how I did mine. I machined the brass piece at the front and the aluminum spacer. It all pressure fits together. The sink knob pressure fits on the booster threads as well. My sink knob was gutted when they removed it so I don't have the small square hole part to fit a carriage bolt. The rod is 1/4" 20. The rubber washers that go into the booster help it fit snug.
Here's the replica I'm working on as well. It has a carriage bolt (I grinded the end flat) going through the sink knob replica and then attaches to a 1/4" 20 rod with a 1/4" rod connector. The rod runs up to the front brass piece and tightens up. I need to make an aluminum spacer, this one is teflon.
They are both super solid, no rattling or anything.
All I need to do now is find some vintage washers and tap some screw holes for the transistors. I need to ass screws to the transistors as well. Any clue what type of washer was used on the original?
