Thread size

So... My remmie had a stuck screw...loader handle(?) screw in the front frame. Had to drill and extract it out- what size thread tap is that hole? That screw had gave me trouble from day one and I want to tap it before getting a new screw.

T.I.A

Ps.. Yes, a couple new small scratches there btw-- oh well, gives it character.

well what brand of remmie and how old
they have changed over the years and brand to brand
did you damage the hole?

I can measure mine but need the info to be of any use to you.

using an analog NGK dial caliper.
closest thread diameter I get is .152 inch
this is 3.86 mm
The bolt was most likely 4mm before the threads were cut.

the thread pitch is .70mm
Thus your tap will likely be 4 mm x .70mm

But I would get the screw first and confirmyours is the same.
