Post some details for us apprentices to absorb would ya mark.
A decent thread gauge is handier than a rule and I guess the o.d. Might be random. Could you send me a pm and I'll have crack.
Thx

If you are handy with a file it might be possible to fix the thread but those kinds of skills are not taught much these days.
