Simple question, I hope.
Anyone know what the thread is on the fixing stud of a Lucas WFT576 boot mount reverse lamp ?
Got one that'll soon be offered on here but would like to find a securing nut for it first, to make it complete !
Not UNF, looks a very fine thread ?!
Cheers
Andrew

I don't know the dia, you would have to measure it, but all the threads Lucas used for their lamp fittings were "Cycle threads" (BSCY) A tap will be available.
This for example;
