What thread is this?

Thank you both.

One I had never heard of before.

Are nuts of this size still available (apart from our resident jailbird)?

Thanks. Dave.

I think not, although there may well be some stocks of old stuff knocking about.

You can still get taps and dies turn up, always worth looking out for them.

Peter

If you want to borrow a tap and make some nuts then I think I have one somewhere. Let me know and I'll instigate a search in the furthest reaches of the workshop bobdotminchinatntlworlddotcom

Dave,

What are you looking for ? material? nuts? or a fitting ? I have taps and dies here, no problem to run you a couple of bits off.

BSB: British Standard Brass.

Head for your local Brit bike restorer, 1/2" BSC is 26 tpi, albeit 60 degree thread angle.

Tom

Hi Dave, It's Standard brass. 26 tpi, depth of thread .0246, core diameter.4508, tapping size 29/64. If you are restoring an antique car, why are you using foreign measurments? ATB Chris.

Hi

It is actually my father that restores vintage cars. Some of his cars can be seen here...

Anyhow, I am younger than 40, so my measurements are in metric (though I can do English). It was just the micrometer I had to hand when I measured the threads, so I roughly translated it to english.

Mr Stevenson, as you are not too far from me (or my dad), (Kirkby-in-Ashfield), I have given him your details, so you may be getting a call from him pretty soon. He basically has a temperature guage and needs a nut for it.

Thanks everyone for your offers.

Best regards, Dave Colliver.
