Fork thread Die size

<< < (4/5) > >>

graeme:
Graeme, I think your plan will be my last resort as I don't have an old pair to cut down and my welding ain't up to that amount of skill. Im a software and electronics kid, all this welding is new to me!
 Well you'd better learn if thats your porshe! ;)

mivvi:
Hey, the porsche is all sorted in that respect, restored from the chassis up (Not by me). Spent £3000 on a reconditioned engine but now sick of the thing. It ain't moved out the garage for 3 years, bloody money pit!  :-[

graeme:
Only joking, no offence!
Im planning on buying a late 60's 911 (when weve sold my nans house), but it will be a weekend toy only!
I can imagine they cost loads to look after!

currio:
I had some forks that had a couple of damaged threads.
My local bike shop (still going from BITD) had the thread die.
You are looking for a 1" 24 or 26 (cant remember, you should check using thread gauges) T.P.I BSC thread.
(British Standard Cycle)
Try here, http://www.tapdie.com/html/bscycle__dies.html
They dont list the 1", but they have an ask us a question link.

Try finding a die before you chop 'em !!

ash:
BSC eh? :D
never come across that one before!!!  :-[
well you live and learn!!! :o
as the forks have been welded you'd need to turn them down to the thread O/D anyway
once up you may as well screwcut them
but i do like the sound of ARGOS' solution ;)
they do sound experts in all of this
i just make bits for fighter aircraft!!
