It's not listed on many Whitworth charts. 11/16 W is 1.200"
AF. 1-5/32" is 1.156". 0.044" difference. Seems a bit sloppy,
but not a lot of torque required.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

Cheers,</font>

So the next question - what's the thread size? Looks to be

OD switch from the center shift gearbox. Appears to be
1-5/32" which is not a common size. Thinking of getting a
thin 1-1/8" open end wrench and opening it up a bit.<br>
