So nobody any ideas what thread that would be ? bit irrelivant now as got the dremel out ,ground /cut through the old glands and removed allowing the fine threaded female nut off , which means I can dress pipe , fit 8mm nut and gland , from there jump up to 10 mm new tails to new radiator .

An update , so as I couldnt get the bsp f fitting for the 8 mm pipes that just protude through the wall I got the dremel out , cut old glands off, cut pipe back about 3/8" to clear where old gland crushed, put on 8mm nut, new gland and just got new elbows on, from there 8/10mm straight adapter , and new 10mm pipe to radiator.
all fitted and test run warm , slight weep from new manifod which is frustrating as all the joints otherwise no problems .amazingly !
So I need to sort a removal key for the 10mm push fit so that I can sort weep after winter s over ( we are talking 1/4" in a marg tub after several days )
thanks for all help and advise as ever much needed and appreciated , Cheers
