<p>I wondered too. So off I went on a quest.</p>
<p>Turned out to be easy. $7.99 on Amazon.</p>

– is there such a thing as a thread gauge for BA threads?
I think not as the TPI on a BA fastener is truly weird.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

having a few thread gauges, taps and dies for most BSW,

taps and dies, I highly recommend Tracy Tools in the UK.
They sell a range of qualities, all at good prices and
provide very fast turn-around. <a href="https://www.tracytools.com/" target="_blank">https://www.tracytools.com/</a>
I have no personal interest in them excepting seeing good
