rougeqc21 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Anyone know the thread pitch / thread size for MBX basepads? Lost one and they don't have it on the site and haven't responded to email or phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Chances are you also need the little buffering plastic part that goes between the screw and the pin. Call them again. They may be at a show or a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamboo Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 If you only need the little rubber plug you can cut a piece of shock-buff to fit and it works ok. The repair kit from MBX should be ordered when you order mags from them. I neglected to, so had to improvise. Next time I order a mag I'm including a repair kit.

I had ordered both 48 and 40 TPI from McMaster to sort this out haha. P/N 94115A103 is a 10 pack of 1/8'' alloy steel nylon-tip screws P/N 91375A717 is a 50 pack of 1/8'' alloy steel cup-points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 That MBX does not send out repair kits at no charge is insane. It is a manufacturing defect. They did not properly threadlock the screw when they installed it. I've had that happen twice with TTI base pads. They mail you out a small pouch with three of everything in it. No charge. I fixed the pads in both instances and have a spare set if it ever happens again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sent me a new basepad without hesitation after I sent them the bad one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
