Dear all hi,
I have this cap to replicate:
The part is slightly worn and I don't have a blueprint of course, so I will have to identify it from measurements.
Plus, since the part will screw on a ship, I have no way of testing the thread, it will have to work!
So, using my thread gauge I found it to be 11 TPI. The gauge was not a perfect fit because the thread is a bit deformed, but I also measured with calipers and I'll stick to 11 TPI.
OD measures exactly 44 mm! 1.732"
I did try to identify this, apparently imperial thread, but with no luck. Could be my lack of experience with imperial threads, or the wear on the thread that misleads me, but I am at a loss....
Any advice would be highly appreciated!
BR,
Thanos
