Maverik Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Hello, Now in my search for adaptor perfection I've still got a small obstacle in the way of a 1/8npt to 10x1.0 transition to make, I'm sure I read that it was possible to re cut the male 1/8npt to male M10 fine... can anyone confirm this at all, I'd prefer not to have to trial this on one of my spare threads... Cheers Mav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Yes, the threads are similar so you can tap npt to metric but it won't be as strong as cutting a thread from scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 How about overdrilling and using Helicoils? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Just cut it, it will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Ok did it, luckily not in the sender and It's not fine, it totally trashes the thread, I do not advise doing this at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Ah it was a male thread not female... If you can tell me exactly what your after, I or my assistant Ed could knock you one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hey VB, thanks for the kind offer, but its ok, I found a fitting on the fleebay and it arrived today, still awaiting the LR part adaptor thingy for the banjo fitting, being frigged about by another fleebay seller, he'll be getting a not so polite review when (if) it ever arrives... Then I might be asking you for an adaptor project challenge .... you'd laugh at how many adaptors I've got sat on my workbench.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Then we can always adapt an adapted adaptor..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
