I always seem to need weird, one-off, "in-between" sizes, your tap budget must be bigger than mine.That's why man invented taps & dies.

Just got to find an imperial drill bit and imperial countersink for them now..
That's what i thought too, though from my post in i recently acquired :Almost certainly UNC. I don't think the Americans would know a Whitworth thread if it jumped up and bit them on the proverbial!
Don't tar all with one brush, UNJ threads have a radius.
UNJ eh? Are you in the aerospace business?
For my sins.
Nothing to ashamed of!
Doing projects at uni people will measure something and say it's 6.4mm, if I say it's probably 1/4" they look at me like I'm speaking some foreign language.I've recently had my contract with Airbus pulled where I worked in LG Research. Had the most joyous time tying to explain to ou bright young thing engineers that 'No, that brake disc isn't 22.275mm thick (like it says on the CATIA drawings), , it's 7/8"!!!

You'd be lucky to get millimeters out of them actually, let alone decimal places, it's usually "0.6 cm".Tell them it's 6.35mm, not 6.4mm, too.
