RE: Mixing Italian and British FW Threading
Most published guidance says it's OK to do ONCE, clean and greased well from the first installation. BUT COMMIT to your choice.
Look at the numbers ... if inches 1.370" x 24tpi British 1.378" x 24tpi Italian
Look at the numbers ... if metric 34.80mm x 1.058mm British 35.00mm x 1.058mm Italian
Otherwise - Thanks again Sheldon
