I just measured a spare one I had lying around. 19 tpi and 5/8" diameter which comes pretty close to 3/8 BSP?

Bob, hope you didn't rush out to buy a tap and die?
Closer inspection showed it's more of a 20 tpi.  *conf*

Go ahead. If it's for a bar you have my blessings...
But to avoid copyright problems you may need to call it "Ye olde busted knuckle"  *smile*

I'll keep you to that!! I'm always in for a beer and a chuckle... which I had when reading the title of this post.
