come to think of it. Bill's method would work.

How do you dome the top of the nut to make it round?? Can you please elaborate?

sorry i didn't know I can get a 3.2mm drill bit and 3.2mm is the hole for that tap set.

Your idea is interesting and could work.

I am searching for a thicker knurled nut

Thanks Bill for the suggestion. How do i drill a 3.2mm hole and why is it 3.2? I supposed 3.2mm is the hole the 5/32 BSW tap set need ?

The fan is build pre 1950 in Birmingham. Brand is Veritys. I am suspecting it is BSW as 5/32 is only for BSW and not BSF according to the chart table. 5/32 only do 32 tpi. Again, according to the chart.

Thanks. 5/32 looks like BSW and 32 TPI, i can't see others.

Am I nearly right?

I have the male side thread and is it possible to measure the male size thread or get a couple of imperial size nut to determine the right thread size? What tool can i buy to measure the thread size?

i think i should be able to find out the thread size. Thanks for explaining these details to me as I have no knowledge of it. I think I will have to find out the thread size before progressing further here. Howard, are you able to do it for me if I have the thread size? Thanks.

Regarding the material, I am not fussed about it really and steel natural finish should be good.

Thanks.

i understand about the thread size. As mentioned, can the nut be done so that I can tackle the thread myself? If not, I just have the buy a couple of imperial size nut and see which one fit and determine the size that way?

Hi all,

Please see measurements and detailed photos. I don't know what material is it as I am not that technical.

Please let me know if anyone can help me out? I am happy to pay for your time/effort. I don't know the the thread measurement though. Perhaps it is something I can tackle myself?

Thanks in advanced.

I can definitely do a drawing with measurements. I am in Croydon, Surrey. Anyone near me?

Hi all,

I am an antique fan restorer but unfortunately I don't know how to make parts.

I am hoping that I can get some help from a hobbyist here that can help me to make a nut and please see the 2 photos.

Thanks.
