Excellent video and has helped me a lot. I'm installing air lines off a compressor I've bought and some second hand air tools - all sorts of fitting sizes on them. I will buy a thread gauge off you and a chart. Threads are a nightmage particularly the tapered threads. I get frustrated when I am ignorant of facts ! Cheers.
strewth!.....I wish that I had found this excellent guide before spending an entire morning trying to identify some Imperial bolt and nut sizes for my MGB GT . An excellent tutorial clear and easy to understand thank you. I'm going to order up your thread charts
Well what a cracking explanation - I've never understood how to measure them, just grubbed about until I found either something to fit or nicked something from somewhere else - I've always got a huge range of nuts and bolts because I take apart, and put back together a huge range of stuff - ergo, lots of automatic spares haha
Just to add the notches on the corner of the hex can also mean a left hand thread (I see alot of people trying to connect flammable gas cylinder's and ruin the threads because of this).
I'm trying to fit a mechanical oil pressure gauge to my old landrover, The only adapter I can get that suits the engine has an M10x1 untapered apature. However the closest fitting to that which comes along with the gauge from the company is 1/8 NPT, they simply don't provide an M10x1. THey are insisting the pitch is the same and it will be okay wuth some PTFE tape. Would be grateful for your thoughts on that...also what's the bike behind you ???
there are 2 types of thread on the defenders. a 10mm x 1 and a 3/8- 24 (9.72mm) outside measurement. the 3/8 sizes are difficult to get hold of. the 3/8 compared to the 10mm is a bit smaller. you will have to go to a machine shop to make an adaptor. they dont exist on any shop shelf. sorry mate.
HELP!! This is a great video and very helpful! BUT what if you have an internal thread to measure - i.e. a hole with a thread inside it thatt you want to find which bolt will thread into it without destroying the internal thread? The gauges on your tool are too big to fit in the hole. There must surely be a solution to this problem too?
Great video . Really well explained in easy to understand language. very useful for people who are unfamiliar with threads...

My thread gauge has 30g BSW on it. Why doesn't it show up in any thread chart though?
Hi there and Thanks for the vid! PLS where can I get the same CHART?

Wonderful just what I was looking for

Nice simple clear advice. Very good Sir!
Where you do get that chart?
Nice video. A lot of info. Thanks.
Excellent- very clear, thanks
Thank you very much for the information.
Where can i get one of those charts? Thank you again!
All the charts are in the back of our catalogue. If you don't have a hard copy you can download it from our website. Thank you.
Does this work on a bmx axle?
Thank you good Sir.
Again very informative, thx
Handy info to have. As Arnie said: "I'll be back"! PS: What is the Brit bike hiding behind you?
Thanks William. It's my 1954 BSA Rocket Gold Star. I've been messing around with a belt primary drive.
Thank you!
Very helpful, thank you!
