I need to thread a new commutator rod and not sure what the threads size would be 1/4-20 or 12-24?
Thanks
Fitz

Mine are smooth, no threads, so I cannot measure them.

The other styles...
are available from the vendors...
if you have a tap and die kit, use the feeler...
be careful of #14 vs 1/4". Use calipers to identify the diameter if you want to do this yourself.
