![]() 858 forum posts 215 photos | Just got a bag full of "single hole" panel mount BNC connectors, the ones secured with a large nut - anyone know what the thread is? I need to tap the panel to fit them (not the normal method, but it's not a normal application). Steve

![]() 858 forum posts 215 photos | Thanks - what an odd set of sizes. My lathe won't cut 32TPI as standard, I'll have a juggle with the gears to see how close I can get. If I can't I'll have to turn the existing thread off and cut a thread the gears will allow, there is plenty of meat on the connector to allow that I reckon.
