Threads on the nut
Lynn,
I didn’t have any problems with bolting the top on I just need to make a nut part number C01UC 103010. It says in the manual that it is 1/2" BSF but I am questioning the 16 TPI part. I think that it is a misprint and that the thread is actually different maybe 18 TPI. Stephen

I have checked, and the thread on the bottom of the column is 12 tpi, which is BSW -( British coarse) which will be 1 thread different than UNC.

Alex / Stephen
Alex,
 I was trying to make it easy for Stephen, who, being from the U.S.of A.,is probably not very familiar with British thread forms.While you are being so precise, it would be more accurate to say that BSC threads were used in some old leaky motorcycles.  How is that carrier coming together? Stephen, as has been pointed out, It is referred to as Whitworth, or British Standard Whitworth. 1/2" is the problem size as it is 12 TPI where as 1/2" UNC has 13 TPI. The other common sizes 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", and 7/16" are the same TPI as their counterparts (BSW and UNC) This is not the case with the fine threads (BSF and UNF)

Progress is slow
Lynn,
I have one of the newer Triumph Bonnevilles. No Whitworth threads but it does leak. Does that count?  Thank you all for the info. I am not sure where I would be without all of you. Lynn, thank you for asking about my progress. I did have an exciting weekend just past as I put the track back on after about a 1-1/2. I just need to get the engine running right. Some seats and armor might be a good Idea too. Stephen DeMocko ’44 MKII So Cal, USA

pic of threads
I dont know guys, 4-1/2 threads over 1/4" sure looks like 18 pitch to me. A forum friend (Thanks Mike) says the nut from the bottom of the steering column goes on ok. I have one coming from Brian A. (thanks Brian). Maybe its 20 but it seems less as it was a bit hard to get my calipers in there especally as i use them as scribs sometimes. Ends are warn a bit.
