Thread dial

by Tom
(NM Skies)

Hi, my thread dial fell off of the thread dial mechanism (it's just a thin metal cap). Not the entire mechanism, just the little dial itself (it was just glued on). Is there is specific location that it goes back on, or can I just glue it on without regard to where it was located before. There does not appear to be any glue markings that will index the dial to top of the thead dial mechanism or I would have just glued it back on in the original location.

Engage the half nut and line up one of the marks on the dial with the mark on the dial housing. It don't matter what mark you use as long as your half nut is engaged.
