Guess the thread
I have a setup station for 1/8 nitro buggy that does toe and camber, managed to sher off one of the crapy soft ally threads that bolt it all
together.
Went to my local nut&bolt place this morning and the closest thing he had to to it was a 4BA size, i would say its inbetween M3 and M4.
Its only a tad bit smaller than the 4BA with a very very slightly finer pitch.
Any ideas?

3.5mm?
Try one out of a switch/socket cover, these are 3.5mm.

Light switch screws / electrical box. If it helps.

Sounds like M3.5, which is 3.5mm x 0.6mm pitch compared to 4ba which is 3.9mm x 0.66mm
Try model suppliers such as THIS

For reference:
http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/metric-threads-d_777.html
As already said its probably M3.5 x 0.6 pitch.
I thought all electrical stuff was still 4BA? Or have they finally made the change to metric?
