Hey Forum,
Last weekend I set up my pro1000 for .44-40 blackpowder loads. That was the first time I actually needed a double disk kit.
While it was easy to change the hopper screws for the longer ones and find the correct set of disks (thanks LEE for the dippers), the spacers would not sit properly and would always fall off the screws when I lift off the hopper to empty it.
Grinding down the flashes in the middle of both sides of the spacer was done quickly and gave the spacers a good seat. But they still would fall off.
So I gave them a wrap of 5 or 6 layers of teflon plumbing seal, right at the top where the spacers sit. That was enough to keep them from falling off.

Re: Pro AutoDisk double disk spacers falling off
As I remember mine were a bit under diameter so that when the screws passed through the sides, they had to be threaded through. Good fix!

Re: Pro AutoDisk double disk spacers falling off
That depends on the version of your measure.
The pro AutoDisk uses metal threaded screws that go in a thumb nut on the bottom.
See: http://www.titanreloading.com/lee-fd147 ... pper-screw
The AutoDisk with the square hopper uses wood-screws, that are a bit larger in diameter.

Re: Pro AutoDisk double disk spacers falling off
I don't know which one I got. But I did modify one of mine to accept a longer screw as pictured. It now handles both regular and double disks without any hassles other than adjusting the nuts to fit what 's going on.

Re: Pro AutoDisk double disk spacers falling off
That's the pro version. The older version has a square hopper without the valve.
I don't need to adjust the measure, since I just buy another one for each load. I already got six, and will buy one more soon.
By the way: Titan reloading has a 5% discount on all purchases in January.
