Hi Sofos,

I'm glad you managed to fix up Emma!
I was feeling your pain :cry:
That work looked quite horrific! I'm not that brave enough to attempt this kind of repair on my dolls yet, although one day - I might have to :|

regards,
Up2

Thanks. I did hesitate a while before making the first cut... But it actually went well.

Just did both her knees just now.
Much bigger nut but still not welded. It seems they use imperial and not metric nuts so my tools didn't fit. I used a normal wrench and managed to tighted it but it was not easy. Before I do any more I will get a socket wrench kit for nuts measured in inches. Not so easy to find here because Sweden is really keen on the metric system...

Well done on the surgery, you're certainly more brave than I would be...

You should take a look at sites like eBay in the UK, although we're 99% metric, there's still a lot of use for imperial wrenches. Have a look for tools for working on classic cars, for example.

Yeah, they’re possibly what we call A/F sizes which does seem a bit strange! I’ll check what sizes might be equivalent tomorrow (too dark to find my tools tonight!)!

Cheers, Hollows.

Oooh, Sorry I missed all this. Well.....not that sorry it looks a bit gruesome. Oh dear I feel your pain Emms, that's major surgery.
Congratulations on your handywork Mister Sofos. :thumbs_up:
Fortunately when I had my surgery I was off my face on anaesthetic so I didn't feel a thing.

Get well soon Emms, we want you back soon. And strong. :D

Love

Replace the nuts with lock nuts such as nyloc , or , use lock washers such as star washers or spring washers . Or loctite .

Easier said than done when you don't know the thread size I guess

Good work! Happy they quit welding them on. I went from rating sanhuis larger at a 6 to rating them an 8 out of 10!

Again, thanks everyone! :D

Finding imperial wrenches online is not a problem. A bit more problematic in a store. But I will definitely get one before doing anything more now. With a socket wrench you can keep the cut even shorter too!

@Liz_xxx
I did apply some blue loctite. But I never unscrewed the nut first so I'm not sure the loctite got into the threading properly. Perhaps a mistake. Time will tell.

For reference.

I believe the elbow was a 11/32 nut and the knee a 5/8.
Not 100% sure though.

You might try maritime shops for accessories. Sailboat rigging systems run with metric, imperial, "and then there's the French!"

And I have now also acquired a socket wrench kit with standard "inches" sizes for future surgeries! :)
