I have a thread here I can't find a standard size for, it is off of my
bicycle (an older non-high performance Norco mountain bike, it was
made
in Taiwan). The nut holding the crankshaft on is stripped, the
threaded
rod is 0.385 inches (measured with a digital caliper) and looks to be
about 20 TPI (sorry don't have a thread gauge at home). A 3/8 fine nut
will not fit on (which is what my boss thought it would be looking at
the stripped nut, though the stripped nut did fit on a 3/8 fine bolt).
Anyone have an idea on the thread size I need so I can buy or make a
new
nut?

I'd ask the question on rec.bicycles.tech(or something like that),
they're
a pretty savvy group that will probably take you in the right direction.

I agree.

Still, it wasn't me that was asking the question--so I suggest maybe you
should work on it a bit--a direct reply to any of my posts is usually like a
big red flag for me....
