Does anyone use BA threads?

[KemppiFrog]

Old British aircraft use BA too. DeHavilland Tiger Moths for example. Next time you go for a vintage flip, just remember they hold the wings on

Wow, my set only goes up to 8ba which for me is too small, let alone 12 or 14.

Excusivemite and Bullet2012 are there any particular sizes you want or were you both after the whole set?

Failing that I'll split the set between you both. Let me know and pm me your addresses, don't worry about payment.
Happy June 5th. Mat

appreciate the offer Mat. I've no pressing need for them so let then go to someone as a set. The few sizes I need I already have floating around somewhere. Cheers though.

Nice one excusivemite, I'd just like to know they're going to be used, unlike me just sitting in a drawer. If bullet2012 or johnser can use them let me know.

 

[Bullet2012]

I can make use. Thank you

I'd only have use of the #5 and smaller ones so bullet; go for it.

I think you can still buy them anywhoo

 

[Bullet2012]

@johnser happy to send them to you,

 

[Bullet2012]

@barking mat I have sent you a PM

 

[Gareth J]

If they're not of use to you, that'd be great. Thanks, @Bullet2012

 

[Barking Mat]

Pm received, they'll be in the post shortly. Mat

 

[Bullet2012]

@johnser. Barking mat has advised me that it's all on its way.
Pm me you details and I will send the ones you want on to you.

 

[Bullet2012]

@barking mat, thank you, taps all arrived today, I will pass on the ones that @johnser requires.
Once again another top forum chap.
Just got to find something to send him now.

@Bullet2012, good stuff, hope you can use them. Visited my father over the weekend, he uses even smaller ones for his 3mm hand made locomotives, ridiculously small stuff, very similar to @optima21, he's got boxes of 14ba washers, nuts and bolts. Glad they can be of use.

BA are an interesting set of threads as they are a geometric sequence! I have a complete set of everything from 0BA to 12BA (three taps and one die per size) but I dare not use the 12BA, I breal enough M6's

Yes I am a mode engineer, but these days I tens to use metric where I can!

Cheers
