Early ones had ½" AF - later ones had metric thread

Hi Cooper,
Wombat has tried to help but has given you a wrench size, not a thread size. I can't help either but recognized the mistake (and hopefully before you tried to buy a tap).
Early diameter was 5/16" but not sure if they were fine or coarse thread.

Regards
Al
