Correct, I've found it difficult to get the originals for the 2a, but I figured early on that if I get the UNF equivalent (or very close) for everything, at least if they need replacing later it shouldn't be too difficult. You would have to be a true Landy die-hard to notice the difference in most cases
Purists, relax, I've retained the originals!

I found the same thing ... if I'm willing to buy a box of 500/1000 - depending on what it is - it's all good. I just don't need that many! I must say, the local bolt supply shop has been excellent at supplying UNF equivalents though. Some need trimming down (length-wise) but so far it's all worked out well

Brian, can you supply a 'Starting Tap' and a 'Bottoming Tap 14mm x 1.75p
I have stripped a thread on the VM head (holds rocker gear), I have a "Helicoil" of the correct dimensions but URGENTLY need the tap(s) to put it in.
I'm Dick Randolph, P.O. Box 515, Cooktown, Qld 4895, I've met you at your place a couple of times (mainly getting BCT taps).
Can you please contact me by email "elswhere@darucreek.com"
