Thanks for the reply
problem here in UK , everyone seems to be selling in metric threads
my only option at the moment seems mail order and I am confused with all the choice in the catalogues.

I tried figuring out what it all meant but no luck , following is some info I couldnt digest

(With the UNF/UNC system the number stamped on the wrench or socket is the dimension of the hexagonal bolt head measured across the flats (AF = Across Flats); so the wrench required for a 1/4 UNC bolt would have be stamped 7/16. Whitworth wrench sizes, however, indicate the size of the bolt, i.e., a wrench required for the equivalent 1/4 BSW bolt will have 1/4W stamped on it.

Another area that causes confusion is the fact that some BSW/BSF nuts can be screwed on UNF/UNC bolts and vice-versa. Under NO circumstances should this be practised. Most of the coarse threads share the same threads per inch, which means BSW nuts can be screwed onto UNC bolts and vice-versa (the exception to this being ½ inch, of which the BSW size has 12 threads per inch whereas the UNC size has 13). Whitworth and UNC/UNF thread forms differ greatly, the primary difference being the thread angle)

any help , just point me in the right direction
Thanks

Nice looking project, cant wait to see how you finish it.

The grip bolt can be found at almost any hardware store. Its a 10/24 thread. Not sure why AF went with a different thread pitch on one bolt.
