Subject: [CR] WTB: Chainring bolts for Chater Lea two-arm crank - or need to know pitch of thread!


Apologies for the rather peculiar subject line. I am in need of three chainring bolts for an early two-arm Chater Lea chainset. If anyone has these beasts could you please let me know?

Failing that, my next-door neighbour is a tool-maker/ machinist for the National Research Council here in Ottawa (making minutely exacting parts for testing jet engines and the like) who has offered to make a set for me in stainless steel. He did ask me, however, about the pitch of the thread and whether these were Whitworth thread? Am I right in assuming they are? Please excuse my ignorance, but I know B-all about such things. I told him I would make enquiries. Therefore, does anyone know the thread-count and pitch of these fixing bolts?
