1/4 Inch by 30 TPI Tap Required

Closest I have is a 4-40 NC, your welcome to it, have three.

found 1/4-28 and 1/4-32 sure it is not metric? there is a 6.3mmx1mm tap.

Thanks fellas, for your quick response. Can't use 4 - 40 UNC, but kind of you to offer. I did consider that it could be a metric thread, but no, it's definitely 30 tpi, which would give a metric equivalent pitch of 0.846 m/m, which doesn't exist, 5 x .8 being the closest pitch. Also checked in case it is 1/4 inch by 1 m/m, but no. That would be 25.4 TPI, very close to the 1/4 by 26 BSC. Can't risk any mis-match that may damage the bolts and set screws which can't be replaced. Good point,though - 6.3 m/m is only 2 thou. under 1/4 inch. It does get tricky - found an imperial fastener recently which has a metric equivalent in pitch. Can't recall offhand what it was, might have been 7/32 by 32 tpi, a pitch of 0.79 m/m, again close to 0.8 m/m. When old fasteners are worn, not only are they hard to identify, but almost anything will appear to fit.
My error in my previous post - 1/4 x 30 is not BSC or CEI. I haven't found a listing for it anywhere. Used on Phillips centre-pull brakes, clamps the shoes to the caliper arms. Also on some early side-pull caliper brakes shoes, and some cable clamps. It's not uncommon to find old bikes with these brakes held on with a rusty and bent 1/4 inch COACH bolt! Thanks for your efforts. Cheers.

well you can always break down and have a machinist make you one I bet. gonna cost though.

I've found that it is a Raleigh thread. I should have guessed! Who else?
