You might try a round (spiral) wire brush on a drill motor. I have a selection
of sizes and find them quite handy for chasing out female threads. McMaster
Carr has a good selection and they are cheaper than taps.Ray Juncal"I thought

Subject: [Healeys] tap for temp gauge sensor bulb
Does anyone know the thread size for the nut that secures the temperature gauge
senor bulb into the head?? It? must be a BSPT thread.? My 1/4" BSPT tap is just
too small, so I am thinking it is 3/8" BSPT.? Can anyone confirm this?? The
threads are sound, but the nut goes from finger tight to very tight fast, so I
am thinking the threads are choked up just past the point where the nut sat for
years of uninterrupted service. I just want to get a tap in there to clean them
out a bit.
Thanks, Mirek

Subject: [Healeys] Front Rotor/Hub Question
I'll be installing new rotors and pads on my BJ8's front disks, and I have the
kind of question only a really anal-retentive person would ask:
Do the bolts that affix the hub to the rotor go in bolt head outside, or
inside; i.e. with the bolt head, or nut, against the hub flange?? It seems like
the bolt head should be outside, but when I bought the car the nuts were on the
outside.
