Thanks Terry. I've found a few UNF now I've looked. Obviously, the thread's not important, it's the 3/4" diameter that matters. 3" seems to be the minimum as you say so that means I'll need a die as well. Never mind, nothing much else to spend my money on at the moment!!

Hi Steve
I’ve found two BSF suppliers on eBay. However I ordered 2 bolts about 3 weeks ago and they haven’t arrived! I’ve just put an order in to the second supplier and hope that they deliver. As Terry says they are 3” and may need the thread extending. Hard work trying to run a die down 3/4”. I think I will thread cut in the lathe.
Cheers
Howard

'Well last night I cut the damaged top from a radiator neck, then I turned up a new top, today it was brazed onto the neck.
( The neck is a spare one which was taken off a scrap rad in the 1970's )
I need to make some more cross pins and drill the neck and fit them.
I will be rebuilding a decent cap out of two from the spares bin.

Drive it day was intended to show old vehicles being used in a good light. Right now, non essential use will do the opposite. It’s up to you of course, but my cars will all be started, they will run up and down my drive, but they won’t be seen on public roads.
