Thread experts: I've a frame with a built in cantilever hanger that doesn't accept either an M6 (too big) or an M5 (too small) bolt. The M5 does thread in, but there's play and will probably strip in use, I reckon.
Anyone care to hazard a guess at what thread I'm looking for?
Both under 5mm, his hole is over 5mm. 2BA is close on pitch, I'm sure we've all put 2BA screws into M5 threads and barely noticed, BSC would be 26TPI which is a long way off, you'd only get an M5 screw about 1 turn into that.
