Thread Size

I want to clean the powder coating out of the threads on the door hing mounting plate, does anyone know what size tap is needed?

Re: Thread Size

Hi Peter, I dont know the size, but I do know Laquer Thinner easily affects the coat on my chassis, you can try that on a rag and "screw" it into the hole. If it does not help out nothing lost . You can always take the part , or the big pin to the hardware store to find the right tap. Good Luck. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Thread Size

Hi Peter,

I am building chasis no94. I ve had the same need as you to re tap the door hinge mounting plate and also the door pins. The thread size is 14mm with 1.5 pitch.

Re: Thread Size

Dan and Andrew,
Thanks for the information, Just what I needed a new reason to buy more tools [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. How many out there figured the cost of new tools into the build budget?
