F: Frame Pivot nut prop stand

[nobby]

I have no Know thy Beast at hand. But I need to know the thread for FT168 - the propstand pivot nut.
Cannot find it on the net and have no tools to measure it properly.
And where can I buy a (machine) tool in that size to make thread (on a sidecar item, it is the same thread as used on the sidecar bracket FT170).
Thanks!

Hi Nobby. According to 'Know thy beast', The main, front stand, pivot nut is 7/8 inch by 20 tpi.
Cheers, Chris

Strangely a nut FT186SS from Vincent Spares is cheaper and as you will probably need need a holder for the die and some hex bar two nuts will be even less.....

Same thread on standard crankpin nuts, E57. These are finished slightly differently, but are interchangeable.

This is BSC. Can I change the BSF thread to BSC? Both 7/8". But different angles...

They will have 7/8 BSF or BSC taps and dies
