[Healeys] tap for temp gauge sensor bulb

[Ray Juncal]

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 getting old would take longer"

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.
