Star Wars Thread and Measurement reference

[thd9791]

So, I thought it might be useful to post a thread like this, maybe have it stickied eventually. Especially for me, I keep running back to the RPF to check measurements of vintage proprietary parts or the actual props themselves. Maybe there are some we don't know and can find...

Graflex
5-40 clamp threading
5/8-24 threading Red Button/Glass Eye hole
Tube 1.5" with .0625 (1/16) wall

M19 scope bolts
10-32 threading

Obi Wan Hero replica central rod
3/8 16 Threaded

Stunt sabers
Black Bolts - M6 Countersunk, M4 Graflex uppers
V3 windvane screw - M3 threading
V3 booster screw - M5 or M4 threading
All my blades - M4 set screw in collar, 5/16 or 8mm mild steel tang (5/16 is like 7.8 or 7.9 mm)

Nice idea for a thread!

Michell Parts
Cone knob - M5 threading (?)
R2 cylinders (?)

I believe most (if not all?) threads cut on Michell parts are actually British Association (BA) screw threads rather than standard metric threads, just to be annoying...

I think it was M6 ... don't have it around me to measure, but I used a metric set screw in my build for sure and it didn't feel like I'm forcing a different thread

 

[PoopaPapaPalps]

Yeah, cone knobs are an M6.

I also use M4 screws on my V3 boosters. I found M5's too big.

Brilliant idea! All the EP4 Obi-Wan original parts threadings could be added as well.

Oh that’s a great idea. I don’t know any, maybe someone can chime in
