How Do,

Does anyone know the size of the thread on the gear stick? I want to have a crack at drilling and tapping all number of weird objects to pop on there, lol.

Cheers,

Nate

OK then which one is it 5/16 BSW or 5/16 UNC because the threads per inch is 18 on the BSW (dont know what it is with the UNC) but its gona be different.

Id guess at the BSW because the mini is good 'ol british engineering so we prob used British Standard Whitworth.

Cheers, Nate

UNC defintely, no threads on the mini BSW, possibly with the exception of the brake lines... they are either UNC (course) or UNF (fine)
