9/16 Tap and appropriate drill bit
Anyone got a 9/16th tap and appropriate drill bit I can borrow for one hole in my aluminium fuel tank?
Of course I will pay the postage if anyone is willing to post me one (I'll send a self addressed Jiffy bag).
Cheers,
Pat...

That would be great Wyn and I'll sned it back with the gear display if that's ok???
Do you know what size drill bit - I get it to just over 14mm so hopefully 14mm should be fine in Ali ???

No problems. I'll check the drill bit chart and let you know the size - I can't do it now as SWMBO is pi**ed off with me as I've
been in the garage selling my Hewland gearbox, and on Tinternet all evening!

Think Automotive told me my breather valve is 9/16 UNF.
The nut for the same also said 6JIC.
Anyone any clearer?

Just found out that 9/16 and 6JIC are the same.
Get 12.9mm for hole size.

Not sure of the thread pitch - can any one help me out there?

1/2" in ally will be fine. I'll dig you out a tap if you want it. 9/16UNF is 18tpi.

Just thought - I should stop being a lazy reformed mancunian.
If I drill my 1/2" hole through my ali tank, can I pop over to yours for you to run your tap through mi 'ole n all that???

It would save you two trips. Let me make sure I've got a tap first, but I'm 99% sure.

I've got 9/16 BSF which is 16tpi, I've got 9/16 UNEF which is 24tpi and a 9/16 UNC. The one I can't find is the 9/16 UNF, sorry.
