[TR] TR3A fuel gauge brass nuts

[Tony Gordon]

I don't know much about the TR3, but a lot of old electrical equipment in 
the UK used BA (British Association) threads for the small bits and post 
terminals ... the following website gives some further info 
http://www.bhi.co.uk/hints/bathrd.htm.  I think Lucas used 6, 4 and 2 BA 
threads ... ((larger number = small thread).
