Tell me about it.¼” - 28 thread is very close to M10.
I'll check. A M10 nut fits nicely.Are you sure it is metric and not a fine thread? ¼” - 28 thread is very close to M10.
Any suggestions as to who to look at? I've found some EU sites, but search engines are tuned to return mostly US results. I know there is a way to tell Google i only want Canada or EU, but I'd have to look it up.Anything made outside of U.S.A. should be metric. Have you tried just using a tap and die to clean the threads?
I think you'll find that an M6 is approximately 1/4. A M10 is just over 3/8.I asked because I've gone the M10/1/4"-28 hole a couple of time.
Have you tried RigRite?
Is the one from e-rigging above inappropriate?I think you'll find that an M6 is approximately 1/4. A M10 is just over 3/8.
I'll email RigRite, I forgot about them.
Thanks.
It might fit. It is a little short and doesn't have toggle ends which means I have to rejigger the toggles. I'm a little concerned about the quality too, $15 seems like it might be too cheap, imperial sized ones run $30-$80 for a 3/8.Is the one from e-rigging above inappropriate?
Better quality marine turnbuckles have a chrome plated bronze barrel and SS studs. This prevents galling between the SS stud and the barrel.It might fit.

Of course. I see that now. It doesn't toggle like you need. Aside fromj what dlochner points out.It might fit.

I'm assuming that was a typo and you meant 3/8-28. 1/4" would just slide through a 10mm female ...I asked because I've gone the M10/1/4"-28 hole a couple of time.

Mea Culpa, I was focused on the thread, fine vs coarse and really didn't think about size. The last time I dealt with this was with a ¼"-28. The point being, some some metric and some SAE threads can almost fit each other and it is easy to make a mistake. One mechanic made a $7K mistake when he mounted the transmission on my engine using SAE bolts when they were metric threaded. Easy mistake to make, frustrating when you forget that SAE have fine and coarse threading.I'm assuming that was a typo and you meant 3/8-28. 1/4" would just slide through a 10mm female ...
