If you count it up then 0.75mm x 40 =30mm

Since there are 25.4mm in an inch then it's deffo not TPI

So it's a 40mm bar, threaded 0.75mm

In metric parlance, M40 x 0.75mm

Quite a rare beast, if I've read you correctly

Aha!, I did wonder.

A fraction also makes discerning metric/imperial a bit easier

3/4" x 40TPI kinda thing

If you read the article, John says he would make the thread 32 or 26tpi if he was making it again or 1mm pitch for metric. So M18 X 1 or use whatever you have, or cut on the lathe.

Quite an easy size to handle in the lathe.
