OT : M3*0.6mm pitch screws

24 May 2011

...
    I'm having the same problems getting M5 for my
Citroen DS from
 1967...when  
 I've not looked, can you still get the tap and die in the right pitch?  
 Yes, through a specialized firm, Citrotech www.citrotech.nl 
 They also rebuild and remanufacture hydraulic components for classic
 Citroens.  
If that's M5*0.9mm pitch, the tap and die are available in the UK. For 
example Chronos list them.

Be warned that soem of the suppliers over here have somewhat crazy ways 
of lisitng these tools. OFten 'Metric Coarse' means the stnadard one (for 
example M3 * 0.5). 'Metric Fine' includes eveythings (in this case both 
M3*0.45 which is the real 'fine' one and M3*0.6 which is coarser than the 
normal one. Go figure).
