[Boatanchors] an off topic matter

[Glen Zook]

The threads are 1/4 inch diameter by 20 threads per inch.

This is a "standard" bolt / thread size here in the "Colonies"!  Taps and dies are available at just about any hardware store or home improvement center in the United States.

This is certainly an off topic question and I offer my appologies for asking it but I know that one of you will have the answer. Pethaps you would be kind enough to respond to me directly please to avoid the un-necessary congestion here.

The question is does anyone know the specification of the thread that fixes a  standard camera to a tripod etc. and more impoortantly, who makes the taps and dies that will cut such a thread. Again,my apologies for the off topic enquiry, thanks and all good wishes,
