Pete Lewis Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 the whit ref I would suggest is the socket equivalent size 1 - 1/16"AF fits some are 15/16"AF there's no way that fine thread whitworth based at 12TPI it has to be a special fine which is probably a SAE standard design pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use an imperial one not a metric version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cswagonl Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 I have an aftermarket wheel on with no boss and I want to make a quick release for it so that I can take the wheel off if I park it anywhere for any length of time.This will hopefully act as a theft deterrent when I leave the hood down.Hence the need to know the thread.ThanksGraham.

Randal Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 or you could get a steering wheel lock, I have one on my 13/60 conv. which covers half the steering wheel. Halfords do a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
