What is 10/32 (unf) in metric? I stoopidly thought it was close to 8mm....so ordered the part, and its waay smaller
Im having a blonde moment and my trusty zeus book of truths has let me down...

Odd. I get 7.9mm too.
25.4 /32 = 0.79
0.79x10= 7.9mm

Kinda assuming it was almost 8mm....not sure what the heck they are on about....
Hmmmm, I've just found a chart on t'interweb that refers to UNF thread sizes 0-12, then from 1/4" upwards. Have a look
here. After many years working on obsolete machinery I've never come across this before
You're looking at a number 10, 32tpi and an external diameter of approximately 4.5mm.
LOL!!! oops...my mistake.....BUGGER!
I dont think my shiny new 8mm rod ends will fit...
Has anyone seen any rod ends or clevises with such a weird thread?...Or am I going to have to resort to glue and bluetack?..
(its for my BEC gearchange)
10-32 UNF common as muck in the piezoelectric sensor world.

10/32 unf is,
Major Dia, 0.189" or 4.80mm.

Chewing gum and a bit of dog spit fixes everything! 
knew I wasn't going mad
linky
Definitely 10-32 NOT 10/32
Its a number "10" size with 32 tpi pitch and is very similar to M5.
The equivalent coarse thread is 10-24
so an M5 nut would fit with some persuasion?
Wouldn't need any persuasion...would be a touch loose if anything...be tight the other way round..
However I could not condone such a bodge...
yeah M5 nut fits fine just a little sloppy
Hmm....Looks like I am going to be making some adapters then.....
Shame I dont have a lathe....I wonder if you can turn 8mm threaded rod into 5mm threaded bar using an angry grinder
(Im not seriously going to try it!)

You can get the correct nuts HERE
