just as an update to the little blighters interfering in the workshop...
a few months ago I made some brass screws for the tank badges on the B40. I made 6 , while I can find them, they seem to be a bit short, I didnt have the badges or rubber seats at the time.
Ive turned up some more brass to make longer screws... do you think I can find the ring die I previously used.
Ive got 14 or 15 boxes with different taps and dies in with every thread, BA, BSW, BSF, UNC, UNF, BSB, Brass, NPT, BSP, Metric upto 20mm, MM over 20mm as well as helicoil and specials UNEF, 26whit, etc.
But no sign of a 3BA die anywhere.
I used it this year, but its now gone!! checked the unit, the garage, cant think where else. not in sets, not in die holders!!
