Hi Everyone,
Can anyone suggest how to get around this problem

I have cross threaded STB cable coupler underneath my Satellite Motor & therefore i can,t screw on a F connector fully Therefore i have used a push on satellite connector and used the other end to the motor to connect the cable from STB.

Set up is currently working,tried to get a replacement nut to reversen the cross thread but to no avail.

Any tips or tricks welcome

Is there not a very slim retaining nut at the base of the motor f connector ? Most have if so remove that to try correct the thread.

A new double adapter has a slim nut on them however the F connector on the cable is not deep enuff to bite on the male attached to the motor

do you think there would be enough space to use a die from what I can gather it is a 3⁄8 in-32 unified thread

That wont fit inside the tool . No room to rotate it .
I did have nuts that cleaned up threads in metric and imperial that might have fitted but depends on the spacing on the next F connector.

Bit too much hassle tbh only use system FTA now OK for 9e Epl

I think this is the only way what I am using now maybe wrap some locking wire or tiny Jubilee clip to make connection tight
