Re: Transfer box breather
BSP threads are based on the bore of the pipe, not the outside diameter of the bolt as normal threads are.
If you notice on the table Darrel attached the outside diameter of a 3/8"BSP thread is 0.656" or 16.6mm
Having said all that though, I've just checked mine, and I'm sure it's a 1/4"BSP thread I used which is 0.518" or 13.15mm outside diameter. The hole already in the case is close enough to the correct tapping drill size to not need to drill it out.
I recall I put some grease on the tap to hold the swarf, and had the gearbox as close to upside down as I could get it to stop the swarf entering the casing.
So believe it is 1/4" BSP you really need.
