Can anyone plesae tell which is the correct thread for the rear brake rod wing nut?
Also wich is the diameter of the brake rod. Mine is a really odd meassure, just want to check.
Mine measures 5/16th of an inch, and is 5/16 BCSY. BSCY & CEI are the same. 26 TPI, 60 degree included angle thread. Very fine and shallow, easilly stripped.
If so, then it is indeed 5/16" - If you've got an odd sized rod then make sure it isn't Norton. They're 5/16' rods but reduced to 9/32" for the threaded section.
I've still got a couple of these nuts NOS at £7.50 each if anyone wants one.
I have rechecked the rod and it straight. So it should be M20's.
I'm interested in getting one of those fly nuts.
Can you email me in private for details.
i would be keen on a wingnut if there is still one available.
Iain, have you bought yourself a BSA ? This nut doesn't fit the standard Norton rod, nor does it have quite the correct extended 'Mickey Mouse' type ears.
If you're using a modified rod though, it would certainly do the job and look the part.

Brain fade strikes again
Just back from 9 days riding to and from the NZ NOC rally, should be recovered soon
On the Commando Iain ? Pure isolastic relaxation !
Sadly no , i was on my modern. Since my 16H has swallowed my wallet my Commando is sitting in need of tlc, which won't happen until the 16H spend is under control and the work platform is free.
I did ride with 3 Commando's - 4200km (2600mile) round trip and only a few loose elec connections, 3 x forgot turn the petrol on, and one drained tank from a fuel line which fell off while in motion.
