I'm rebuilding a manifold pressure sensor. Unfortunately, I chewed up the threads on the MPS while removing the epoxy and backing out the stop screw. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
I need to pick up a tap to clean the threads. Does anyone know what size & pitch these threads are? Thank you. |

I did the same thing and they rescued my case for me. |

I've also got one I buggered up that could be saved. |

I went out to the garage to check for you but only have a partial answer:
It is size 16, and I THINK the pitch is 1.5. But I'm not willing to bet my life on that. I don't have the bolt gauge for that size, and I don't have a tap that's 1.0 pitch for that size, so that's the best I can do. @ChrisFoley |

Bob, I can chase the threads for you, just for the cost of shipping.
You can use a smaller diameter tap with the same pitch to scrape the threads. Doing that saves one from buying an expensive tap with no other use. |

Thank you for the responses and for your kind offer Chris.
I found a cheap M16 X 1.0 tap & die on ebay and bought it in case I run into this problem again. Here is the link if anyone is interested: https://www.ebay.com/itm/155000606646?chn=p...axoCDYMQAvD_BwE (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
