I'm about to google it, but if any1 has an instant answer there's a brownie point up for grabs:

About 4' 3" I reckon.....

If it's for the DD bike I suggest you ride it flat out into the side of a skip then cover it in petrol and set fire to the bugger!! Nothing left to tap, nothing left to drill.....

I should really be on helpdesk.

Nick!

stay away from motorways, I ask you - the M10?

If you look in The Big Book of Predictable Replies you find exactly what was said in the first three replies...... sorry...

Will go and check now.....

ali · 13-Apr-2005, 20:46

Intraweb say 8.5mm for a standard thread and 8.8mm for a fine thread.....

NBs996 · 13-Apr-2005, 20:47

Thanks AK, I just found it in a engineering forum... says between 8.5 and 8.8mm depending on material.

Tapping into alluminium so I think a wider thread would be needed so I'll start with 8.5

Give Al a brownie point anyway.

Ali... I expected nothing else!
