turn buckles and tank straps

[Lynn Eades]

I have checked the threads.
Canadian turnbuckles use a 1/4 UNF thread
British turnbuckles use a 1/4 BSF thread

Are you sure about the BA threads Lynn? I'm no engineer! But I would have thought the Brit equivalent would have been 1/4 BSF or BSW. 0BA is not far off 1/4" but more in use for instuments I think.

Your are correct! I took a short cut. I expected it to be BSF, but a BSF bolt wouldnt start in it so I tried the BA bolt and it run in fine. What I found after you pulled me up was that the end of the thread was damaged. After I fixed it the BA bolt was quite loose. Thanks Ron, Now I'm not sending anyone in the wrong direction.
