Tap and Die sets

Niagara850 · Aug 2, 2011

I saw a Metric and SAE Tap and Die on sale for a decent price at the local Princess Auto. I have several bolts and studs that can use a cleanup in paticular the gas tank studs (what size thread?) What sets are you guys using? BSW?

Hi, UNF (sae?),is fairly common on Norton specially after 1972, so it could be a good buy , on my side I had them plus various BSC (cycle), and UNC , normally tne tank studs /nuts are 5/16 UNF, hope this help...........

Here's an odd one. The holes in the gas tank for the fuel taps are 1/4" BSP (British Std Pipe). I use British Fasteners for Cycle Thread and other British standards. Find them on a web search.
