Hello! Does anyone know the thread size of where the main tube (BU42405) threads into the governor base (BU42401)? My digital calipers have packed up after the battery leaked into them. Also anyone know of a short cut to clean up brass threads without having to buy a new tap?

Hi Dan
It might be useful to try these people:- tracytools for M.E. taps and dies, you can get just the one tap or die required, I have used them before and was very satisfied with the service provided.
