Can someone tell me what size thread is used at the end of the pedal rod to the pedal linkage, I refer particularly to a Sho-Bud Professional. The rod diameter (According to my micrometer is 162thou', but I can't find a thread that matches that diameter. Everything in this country has gone Mad & Metric. (Bring back FEET & INCHES)
Thanks to anyone that can help.
Cheers
Dave.

Thankyou both for yor replies but if I went to a tool shop here and asked for a 10-32 they would think I was telling them the time. Is 10-32 a UNF, UNC, or something else.
Other than Metric, I am only familiar with Whitworth, BSF, BA, and of course UNC, UNF, in fraction sizes. Is the 10-32 the pich and number of threads or wot .
Cheers Dave.

10=dia
32= pitch/threads per inch
Dave,
take your pedal rod with you and try a 10-32 nut to be sure,go to a sears or home depot or equalivant or maybe automotive supply house.You will need a handle and stainless steel tapping fluid,unless you plan to use it on a contuing basis it may be cheaper to have a machine shop to do it. Get on the phone and ask prices...

Bob is right 10-32 would be NF (National Fine) threads. A 10-24 would be NC (National Coarse). If you go to a tool place...they will <u>know</u> what you're talking about! You'll need a button die and a die handle if you're threading rod, or a pair of taps (a pilot tap and a finish or "bottom tap") if your doing female threads in a rod end. And yes, get a small can of the right kind of tapping lubricant. Also, when you're tapping (cutting threads), use the lubricant constantly---and back up the tap or die every turn or so to break off ("clear") the chips.

Hi there Dave,
You should find the required bits your'e looking for at your local Landrover dealers as I think they are used for the throttle/carb' linkage rods.
I think that the early ones were already 10-32 which equates to the N.American 3/16" and 32 T.P.I. like the guys sugest.
