Casco1,
Well, see, that's my problem. I am a machinist and have had this Brown and Sharp guage for about...hmmm...30years or so. I tells me the the #threads per inch but not the pitch diameter of the thread. Yours is probably the same, hence your return post.
Now, if you look into the Machinery's Handbook, there are all kinds of thread diameters that have the same #threads per inch. That's my problem, and I don't have Metric guages either.
Anyway, I did as another suggested and bought several sizes that I thought would work...WRONG. Screwed up. Now I'm going back up with a pair of calipers to measure the bolt...duh!
then I can use my thread guage Major Diameter and use the book to tell me what it is...(hopefully)
Thanks everyone for the input.
