If Evangelos has got a problem finding imperial type fasteners in his
locality, maybe I can provide a solution? Of course, it depends what has
happened to his existing imperials threads - whether they are stripped or
damaged. I'm permanently housebound through illness but I do sell a very
small range of specialist handtools which you'll find at
http://www.toolbox.ndirect.co.uk
One of these is called Threadsaver and it entirely lives up to its claims.
It will restore a thread on any bolt or stud from 1/4"-1" diameter
(6mm-25mm) in a wide variety of types and pitches - including metric - as
well as left or right hand. If anyone wants more info, e-mail me at
jonmac@ndirect.co.uk and NOT via the e-mail address on the website. Just
for the record, I'm an ex British Leyland employee, Jaguar, Triumph and
Austin Morris in that order and watching the ether tennis games you guys
are having is fascinating.
