That would be great Dan . I need 10 that are 5/8 long for holding the switches in, they are dangling with one each! Also need three 1” long and 3 1.1/4” long for the wheel hub.

Got fed up of replacing the battery on our Dyson...was lasting 5 minutes. Now this is a neat solution I think...

Checked the thread on a shadow graph, definitely 3/16”BSF. Yes ,I’m do know 2ba has a very similar diameter and pitch.
Make for quick and easy holes for plug welding repair panels to cars.
Bought mine for similar money in the US 20 odd years ago.

New automatic chicken shed door. The last one died, light sensor stopped working, could probably have fixed it but it was a PITA as the motor was above the chicken run roof and pulled up the sliding door with a length of cord. To change the batteries I had to get the ladders out, and when it snowed it covered the sensor and froze the cord to the roof.
This one uses a cog to lift the door via the slots in the door so all the bits are below the roof making it a doddle to use and fit.

That looks suspiciously like a modern day French culling machine.

Like the name you've given that camera.
Don't forget to bung up the string hole in the roof, or the new one will be going the same way.
As a kid, I remember my dad getting into conversation with a Renault salesman about doing exactly that with one - I have no idea how, or why . . .and it now triggers a memory that somewhere, my dad's old one much be kicking about!
