TomHi, yes that one confused me a bit although on my lists it is
quoted as 11/16" UNEF (Extra Fine??). Not having a track rod to look
at I couldn't confirm but from memory I thought they were fairly fine
but perhaps not quite that fine? I still haven't found a finite spec
but at least the practical approach seems to have worked for Martin.

Regards

Keith

Missed the UNS, not UNF is it? :-)

That's why I asked the pitch.
So far as I can see, there is no 11/16" UNF defined, but if there were
to be one it would be either 16 or 18 tpi.
11/16" UNS is probably the best offer ;-)
