Here is an excerpt from one of my articles...

The bolt is 5/16" BSW!   Don't let anyone tell you different. =20

=20

Even my 45K original mile '60 Bugeye has its original  5/16" BSW bolt in =
the generator front plate.  The problem arises since a 5/16" UNC bolt =
has the same tpi (threads per inch) as the 5/16" BSW bolt.  The issue is =
that UNC has a thread pitch angle of 60=C2=B0 and Whitworth by =
definition is 55=C2=B0.  The wrong bolt will never torque properly and =
will eventually wear the aluminum generator front plate.

My understanding is that they are close but not interchangeable ?

Thread angles are slightly different.

=20

For AH generator adjusting link is this 5/16 W or 5/16 UNC ?

=20

At back of my mind think they should be Whitworth -  think you told me =
that is why they come loose if you use UNC ?

=20

Finding it difficult to identify one from the other.

Any tips to do this welcome.

Have a definite W bolt and comparing to UNC can only see slight rounding =
of UNC ?

=20

Moss sent me a UNC bolt for this link - well that is what they called it =
?

=20

Would appreciate your expert input.
