I have tried searching this forum for the thread size of the spokes and nipples of a Z900 to no avail.
Does anyone know the correct thread, it has 40TPI and as far as i can measure it appears be 5/32nd in diameter, what kind of thread is it as i need to get a tap to clean up the nipples, has to the the correct thread angle so i need to know what thread it is.
Any one know please?

Re: Spoke Thread
Hello again, I tried Central Wheels to find the spoke thread pitch etc but they were unable to help me.
I have taken a gamble and bought a used tap on ebay, Model Engineers thread which is 5/32nd x 40TPI.
It is to clean up the nipples as i have a full spoke set which are original form a 1976 bike which i will replate.
If this tap is correct i will let you know for future reference, unless anybody knows the correct size please let me know.

Re: Spoke Thread
Please take care...spoke threads are rolled, or swaged, into place. Nipples are likewise swaged. Cheers. Rick
Re: Spoke Thread
You are best using a fluteless tap to reform the threads.
I use these all the time on engine casings, namely 6mm and 8mm.
They are much more expensive but are some of my most prized tools I have!
