4ba one-size-smaller half nuts

| 44 forum posts 10 photos | Does anyone know where I can get 4BA half-nuts, one size smaller? I can get one-size-smaller, and I can get half nuts, but not both at once. Thanks

 23121 forum posts 1360 photos | I think you may be asking the Have you compared the thickness of a half 5BA nut with the pitch of 4BA ? MichaelG. . P.S. Skimming down some full nuts to a realistic height might be the best option. Edit: David beat me to that ^^^ Edited By Michael Gilligan on 26/03/2019 10:05:57 |
