I need a 10 MM stud connector , something you might think would be easy to source , but apparently not . Seems maybe VW used some of these on the old pancake 4's , anyone know what size those were , or any car engines that used a 10 MM size ? SAE is no problem , but Metric isn't easy to find . Geez , sometimes I wish we could just standardize this stuff :rolleyes:

Well ...
:1: metric coupling nut Fastenal < Graingers< MSC all them thieving turds
Unfortunately we no longer have a full Ace Hardware here anymore , and our Fastenal only carries SAE coupling nuts . I found some in bulk , but geez , who needs 50 of these things ? :shocked:
Gonna go on a mission to find one , wish me luck .

I do want to say how much I appreciate the PM's offering to send one , this place is inhabited by the best people :bow:

As I've said before.. Gotta love WG.

The coupling nut can be essentially free. You just need to go out and spend about $2K on a nice, used lathe and make your own.

:1: for Ace hardware. My local store in chandler AZ has them in both black and stainless finish. Not all ace hardware stores are created equal.

ALWAYS check Amazon. Might cost you $3 plus $5 in shipping, but what's your time worth?

Uh, no one asked Dusty what thread pitch?? ......10mm comes in 1.25 and 1.50....

Dusty, how many times have you and I gone to Ace?
I would guess a couple of dozen and about half as many again to Lowes/HD.

Don't remind me of those Lowe's trips :laugh: Said before , our one Ace isn't a full blown Ace store, they didn't have one , but the one on South Peoria in Tulsa does have one . Checked everyone of our industrial supply houses here , no luck , apparently Muskogee isn't aware that a lot of stuff is Metric these days :rolleyes:

The connector comes in a 1.50 pitch , so I will need to thread the rod to match .

Unless you buy a 1.25 coupling, they sell those also :grin:

I believe cars/trucks from the traditional US brand names are nearly 100% metric now....Are new Harleys metric?

Yebbut, the stuff that we'll actually be WORKING on will still be SAE or Whitworth ... unless its a Citroen or an old Fiat .... The newer it is, the less likely that we'll even know what nut-and-bolt standard they're using ... :sad:

Rule seems like a nice place, but apparently you can't order jack from their site, or see their inventory. You need to go to one of their locations? I've been looking for some oddball sae stuff

Well , the somewhat elusive 10 MM 1.50 thread pitch rod/stud connector is now in my possession ,
two bucks and change . Life is good .

Stress not my metric thread virgins 99% of what you'll come across will be Metric Coarse :thumb:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_metric_screw_thread
Things like M7 exist, but I've yet to see one and fine threads occasionally pop up on conduit fittings for example
The only thread I can think of off hand on my B11 that might not be metric coarse is the "no-touchy-screw" and we know we don't touch that anyway ..... don't we :wink:

I play hell strapping chicken cages on the back of the EV. The chickens get pretty frazzled too.
OTOH, nothing like going to Denny's and them frying the chickens you brought in. Fresh and tasty.

That would have to be one of the quickest and most obtuse thread drifts yet! :grin: :grin: :grin:

The trouble for me is when I bring a goat and get 40 chickens for change. cargo nets are great, always bring one when I roll thru Oklahoma on a bike trip.

There are bar & grills in hunting country where they'll cook up whatever you bring in. I've rolled in with a few grouse and some chanterelles and traded with the grillmeister for some very good cooking! All those chickens would be even better, on account of you don't have to bite #6 shot when you eat it.
I forgot -- don't do that if you have Tex along. No telling what he's bringing to the table. I mean -- literally -- that one time -- nobody could identify it. Dusty was the grillmeister and mixed it in with the catfish like we weren't gonna notice. :tongue:

Dusty,
Word on the street is you have a big gummint check in your hands. LOL
