I need to be sure:
They screw into 7mmx1 straight thread easily, but i know that's not the complete story.
I want to replace some of them with 45 and 90 degree fittings, but have to face my ignorance before I buy!!!!

Thanks in advance.

I replaced a few as well and there are standard sizes. The package I have says 1/4 28 but it is not a 1/4 inch thread. The ones I have are a taper thread. Take one with you and get the same thread size and it will work.

Thanks Dave. It seems like such a trivial thing, but now I'm going to "stay with it" till I get word" from FFR, whom
i have also asked.
I'll post the answer when I get it.

I also noticed I misspelled Zerk....as in jerk!:)

I just added a couple more zerk fittings 90 degrees around the piece, so they are easy to get at.
Don't forget to de burr the inside after drilling the holes.
