Subject: RE:Why I do my own work........ by Notorious on 2008/1/11 5:17:09 The bottom line is that it worked out, and for that I'm pleased for the OP. But changing the thread pitch from metric to 5/16 NC could only have done more damage than would have chasing the threads back to what they were already cut to. The two sizes are virtually identical as far as diameter goes, as has already been stated here. So making the slight change to the pitch would only remove that much more metal. This makes the bolt fit a bit looser and problems more likely in the future. |
