Frenchie dealing with non-metric screws on an old Claud Butl

[Rampage]

You can normally buy (in the UK) tap sets for a few pounds in pound shops and smallish DIY places. That should clean it out enough.

I used a greased screw and a tougher allen key. A little bit a torque and the thread is back to its "normal" state

Sorry for bothering, but I would not have put the necessary torque if you hadn't told me the thread was surely standard.

Cheers !

Claud Butlers are part of the Falcon Group, I'm glad to see they standardised their fasteners. I had a Townsend in the past also a Falcon Group company, its fasteners were a mix of metric and imperial, that was a real pain :roll:
