They vary, but they generally belong to the family which we over here call UNC. Possible sizes are 1/2"x13, 5/8"x11 and 3/4"x10.

Thanks Ian, They are 1/2" but definitely not UNC, the thread is much finer so I can only assume these have been made in the UK and the thread must be 1/2" BSF. (British Standard Fine.) Thank you for your help, All the best . Dave.

Could also be ½" UNF (20 tpi).

Get a 'thread pitch gauge' Dave to be on the safe side, any hardware shop will have one for a few pennies.
