Hi Boris, to the best of my knowledge Youngs used BA threads on their reels Youngs went out of business a few years back. I would not say 100% they never used Whitworth but I have never come across it on their reels. As far as Unified threads I am confident you can ignore them on any UK manufactured reels, yes they were used particularly in the motor and aviation industry and probably in others but the fishing industry was/is very old school !

Any photos of the fish Boris ?

Thanks Michael G Forgot to add Threads to the E mail addres

Thank Bee M

Not done it yet,

Sorry about typo, just checked flebay and confirm taps 7/64 x 48tpi still for sale @ $19.90 in Oz.

But not much good for making screws, though I suppose you could make  a screwplate.

They have very comprehensive screw thread tables. Thanks for that, Brian

Thanks for your reply. Well, I'm not sure what to do next. Perhaps a correctly sized 6 BA but the ones I have are definitely sloppy in the frame when screwed in.

Here you go Speedy.

I just bought that tap, DMB. and I was lucky to find a set of three dies which included the 7/64 WW - 48 tpi.

Cab't believe my luck...

Thanks for your help and suggestions. I completed the initial task with the 7/64 die and completed the reel repair.

Thought you guys might be interested in seeing the results.

You can see the old broken screw head and threaded section and the remade one on the left.

Thanks again

Thanks for showing results nice job. So many things are started on here and you never see the end job.
