<div>Michael-unfortunately the 100 parts book does not address the instruments. The later parts books do and for the BJ8 the nuts are 17H1304. I just looked at a NOS speedo I have for the BJ8 and the thread is close to 8-32 but it only goes on a couple of threads so it is not Unified.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Moss catalog calls for the nuts 300-370 for BN1 to BJ7 and for the BJ8 its part 361-035 so they are different than earlier instrument parts. Could be just the knurling as the BJs are fine knurls and others might be coarser. My thought is that all of them are/sb 3BA. Here are pics of 100. 100-6 and 3000 (BJ8) Hank</div>

<div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I have a collection of instrument retaining clamps and nuts but am confused about the different threads on those nuts.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;">As far as I can find the thread on the studs on the Smiths/Jaeger is 3BA however, I have several nuts (these are the round ones with various sorts of knurling on the periphery) that seem to have a different thread and will only go onto most of the instruments a turn or 2 before jamming. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Does anyone know if there is more than one thread used for these studs and other then 3BA what is the other thread.</div>
