} Hmmmmm. Could that *possibly* be a common 1/2-20 NF thread ???
} 1/2-20 looks like 12.7x1.27mm in the metric world. Try measuring it
} again, but with an inch ruler.
I'll have some new rotoflex bolts to measure tomorrow. A sales droid at the
local screw supply place measured an old one for me. Hopefully I'll have
*the* right answer then.

} Thats when I discovered an axiom of British engineering:
} There's a right way, a wrong way and a British way of doing things.
I was trying to explain my attraction to british engineering to a (British)
coworker the other day. I finally came up with: "An engineer decides
a car needs an extra gear ratio. If he's American, he designs a bigger
engine, eliminating the need for the extra cog. If he's Japanese, he
designs a 5 speed gearbox. If he's British, he designs an electric
overdrive." All valid solutions to the problem, all different.
