29 to 30 Starting handle nut thread - Howard Wright - 08-02-2021

Hi All

Could anyone let me know the thread size on the securing nut that holds the starting handle shaft to the nose cone on a 1929 or 1930 car?  

Cheers

Howard

Without going out and measuring one I think it's  1 1/4"x16tpi

Hi Austin

Thanks.  I must admit that I could measure the one on either my RK or Special but both are on the car and I’m being a bit lazy Big Grin.

The reason for my request is that I have an OK short nose one from a later car (RP without the thread) and I intend turning an extension with a thread and welding it onto the shorter nose cone.

Thanks for the prompt response 

Cheers

Oooops

Just realised that the later RP nose cone is too narrow to take the collar on the earlier shaft. 

Back to the drawing board Smile.

Cheers

Howard
