    It could be a B.S.F or Whitworth thread if it measures 1.5, a BSP Would measure 1.882 (sorry)

    Any machine shops near you so you can find out the TPI?

    The Whitworth is 6tpi and the BSF is 8, your thread doesn't look course enough for that so could easily be metric. 

    It's over 100 years old so not likely to me metric?

    I would take it and try local plumbers merchant /screwfix looks very similar to the old iron/brass fittings used on threaded pipe. 

    That is what I was thinking - just trying to avoid walking into screwfix, tripod under arm, and asking "can you tell me what this is please"?  🤔

    Go to a nut and bolt place and ask for a nut to fit this.

    Yes, but same issue as above with Screwfix - but may be the only option. 

  2. Hi.

    Would anyone know how to identify the thread size in the picture which shows the top of an old mahogany theodolite tripod that I would like to use as a standard lamp and, rather than drilling the original (threaded) brass cap, I would like to create an adaptor in order to screw a lamp holder onto the male thread so the tripod isn't irrevocably damaged.

    The thread is 1 1/2" outside diameter so maybe 1 1/2" bsp?

    Thanks in advance.

  3. SOLD.

     

    As photos.

    Rare in .177 and comes with new(ish) hard poly case with foam.

    I don't think I can post the CO2 cartridges so they would have to be on collection deals only (someone please correct me if that is wrong). Collect MK44 or PE8 areas.

    One sold on AirgunBBS in March for £140 without a case.

    I would like £145 to include post or Hermes / EVRI and some pellets for plinking.

    Advertised elsewhere.

  4. I had an old plastic bucket. 

    Been with me for over 30 years. Solid build, strong handle a large capacity. 

    Carried live bait when full of water, groundbait, fresh dug lug and ragworm is massive quantities, was 5+ years used on charter fishing boat as a sluice bucket with a big rope attached to handle, lobbed overboard (at full speed) then dragged back aboard to sluice the boat down on the way back in. Used on board for other issues.....🤫 plus (for the past 4 years) sand, gravel, cement and muck on a new house build.

    Last week the handle snapped whilst I was adding bricks & rubble to a skip.

    No problem methinks. Sorry to see you go but time to move over for a new bucket.

    Jeez....what a pile of carp. B&Q, Wickes, Screwfix, Huws Grey plus 3 x independent hardware stores and all lightweight (hard, not flexible) plastic with handles of wire thinner than a Sketchleys dry cleaners wire hanger.

    What is going on? All I need is a good strong bucket.

    HELP!!!.

    Would anyone know where can I find one please.

    A mate may have come through with the large, just needing the small now, or both if anyone is in the area? 😃

    If you're stuck I have some small rifle primers (brands & quantity tba) & not too far from you that you're welcome to "borrow" and replace at a later date - if that's of any use.

    If it is I'll search the man cave. PM me & let me know?

    Cheers.

    It's that time of year again when I need to purchase Euro's(2200) to pay the hotel in Egypt. As usual, I have checked online for the best deal, and found that Sterling FX are the best so far, charging £1931:01 including delivery.

    I've never had currency delivered before and have only ever used Ramsden's which used to be the best. Has anyone used Sterling FX?

    I have used Sterling FX but found a Wise (previously Transferwise) to be a lot cheaper. I have got a multi denomination debit card that you can spend almost any currency in the World and Wise will debit any currency you have on deposit. 

    I'm regularly paid in US$ and in Euro and their transfer fees are ridiculously cheap.

    Looking at the news last night and the pictures of Nicola(s) as a teenager went a long way to explain her support for the trans gender change types.

    My thoughts exactly. She's resigned before the **** hits the fan?

  9. I was only one month old at the time and (thankfully) far away from danger either in Scotland or deepest Buckinghamshire but there are two thought provoking 1953 flood markers I have seen regularly - one on a wall near the quay at Wells-next-the-sea and the other on the front wall of the Harbour Inn pub on the side of Blyth river in Southwold.

    Frighteningly high marks.

    Did they blame these floods on global warming?

     

  10. The new site is useless.

    Search parameters are beyond dire, bookmarks don't work and I have to log in every visit with full email address and password - why no "remember me" option.

    I would suggest the IT "expert" knows not a lot about guns.

    Bring back the old site.
