John the thread for most bikes is a special thread, why I don't know. :doh: On the oz ebay site there is a guy that sells the taps and dies at reasonable prices but again it would wreck your budget. Should be plenty bike bits at the tip :) Nice job and got me thinking about a motorised version :scratch: Pete |
| John Hill:
Yes Pete, they called them 'cycle' threads! The stripped one is even an oddity among them as 13/32 is bigger than the usual cycle axle. |

Nice job John, :thumbup: I bet you get the job of fetching the weekly shop now. :D That weard thread is a British Standard Brass thread you can still get the taps and dies, try Tracey tools http://www.tracytools.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=1_3 I think they will ship to your neck of the woods Stew |

I will go and check my stock of weird brass bits! Right now there is only a thin lock nut on one side and I would really like to get something stronger on there. |

I doubt if it is Brass Thread assuming it's a genuine bicycle spindle .. B S Cy is 26 tpi 600 with rounded crests/ roots B S B is 26 tpi 55o WF I have come across B S Cy in all sorts of wierd OD's .. on motor bikes .. it's what they did .. :scratch: Have a trawl in this ... BSCy or CEI .. http://www.watchman.dsl.pipex.com/thread.html Dave BC |
