Re: A thread about threads......

Thanks to all for your replies.
Heres a specific example of my problem.
The grille on the front of the radiator should be fixed with two screw-head bolts into a threaded bracket beneath i.e. no separate nut underneath.
Currently there are two smaller bolts which just rattle around. In fact the current bolts are actually electrical socket cover plate screws here in the UK!
I hear what you say about a thread gauge but it would not help in measuring the internal thread.
I guess I can insert a variety of imperial size drill bits in to determine the internal diameter of the thread but it will not tell me what bolts to buy.
As I said, Ican probablyget hold of any size locally but I need to know what to ask for.
Thanks guys
