RE: Standardizing Thread

Sounds like a 5/16-20 UN thread.

RE: Standardizing Thread

And if inches don't work out, check metric.

RE: Standardizing Thread

Or it might be M8 X 1.25.

At the nearest hardware store (during a lunch hour or mid-morning) BUY a 5/16 UNC and a 5/16 UNF nut, and a metric M8 x 1.25 nut. They will cost you less than $1.00.

Bring all three back to the project and test them.

Ap91:
There aren’t any standard threads here on E-Tips. Each one is different, a slightly different subject, a slightly different set of conditions, etc. And, you should not be double posting the same thread on many forums. Yes, there are some standard topics or subjects which keep coming up over and over again, different people similar subjects or problems, but no standard threads. smile
Oh.... never mind.
