I need to mount a GPS antenna. It has a 1-14 internal thread. 3/4"
electrical fittings are similar, but they are .050" over 1". I need to
thread something to fit. Can you thread the O.D. of 3/4" PVC pipe, or
will the threads be too rough when you finish? I don't want to pay $11
for a piece of PVC with the thread that is made to mount one on a light
bar.

I may have some 3/4" aluminum conduit left, but I don't have a 1-14
die.

Invest $14 in a die on eBay, make 20 of the things, sell them for $9
each on eBay, and you'll come out ahead AND have the die for the
future? http://tinyurl.com/haso2dv


I did buy a die on Ebay, and rethreaded one end of a 3" piece of
3/4" pipe made for a sprinkler head. I didn't have a die handle big
enough to hold it, so it was fun holding the pipe in one hand, and the
die in the other to re-cut the threads.

AFTER I had it cut, I finally found a place to buy a handle.



I have been off Usenet for some time, due to both health problems,
and a problem with the anti-virus software on the old computer. Every
time it would update, it would remove files needed to run my news
reader. That would lock up the system, and flash its blue ass at me.
