Sorry friend. Triumphs, just like American vehicles, used Unified threads back in the sixties. If you are in the spares business you would know that.


Sorry friend...Triump motorcycles didnt go to Unified theads until the
late 1960s

Most bolts on a Triumph made before '68 will be BSC thread (formerly
known as CEI thread).
Any bolts/screws less than 1/4" thread diameter will be B.A. thread
which has metric pitch but an unusual diameter.

BSC threads up to 1/2" diameter are 26 tpi. At 1/2" diameter it could
also be 20 tpi, and any diameter above 1/2" is likely to be 20 tpi.
Some threads, like on fork stanchions, are bigger than 1/2" diameter
but still 26 tpi.

Studs that screw into aluminium, like cylinder base studs, will have
Whitworth threads on the part that screws into the aluminium casting.

And yes..I have English bikes


But your English bikes don't run and so far you haven't been able to
fix them.

How many years has it been since you were regaling us with tales of
the Royal Enfield Bullet and how difficult it was to repair?
The Enfeild isn't hard to repair - but the fact is you never finish
repairing. Like any Brit bike or car

Goodpileofswill always gets it wrong..sadly.

I own a Triumph T-120(V) with sidecar..and a Enfield Super Meteor.

And of course the BMW R90/6

The Meteor is still undergoing restoration..so the question was a lie
phrased by an utter moron.

But he is well known for such buffoonery.

If anyone finds a dash/headlight assembly for either an Indian Chief
or Super Meteor.....Id love to talk to you. Else its going to continue
to be a plain jane bobber..as it was imported into the US as an
Indian. One of the last 10 ever released by Brockhouse.

I wasnt even aware that the poor ******* was still alive..he having
been in my Bozo Bin for a couple years by now. Notice the hate and
fear he shows whenever I post something he thinks..thinks he knows
something about.

Just goes to show how mentally flawed and terribly mentally ill he
shows himself to be. Shrug.

Yup. Still restoring them? I can only "restore" means in High Desert
lingo, "another pile of oily junk".

As for Bozo Bins, I should certainly hope so. After all you simply
can't have someone running around telling the truth about you. Can
you.
