Hi guys!

Some time back I bought a RK shell and lugs from one of the very kind members here. I'm finally assembling the drum, but I found out that (of course!) the threading of the screws that hold lugs to the shell is imperial, not metric. I know there are several imperial standards - does anybody know which one was used on the beavertail RK lugs?

Thanks a lot

#8-32 thread. At least that's what the vintage RK lug I have in my hand right now takes.

Thank You.

But I also need to know what standard it is - for example, British Standard Whitworth, or something else.

American US standard. There's also UNC (unified coarse thread) also called standard thread. And UNF (unified fine thread) also called machine thread.
