    Morning folks, I am making a fake mortar shell (2" smoke) to go with my carrier... I will want to produce more in the future no doubt ! I have used a tail spigot from a used and destroyed mortar which was on ebay, I have also been given some genui fins which the threads are full of rust etc so wanted to buy a tap and die to clean the threads on the spigot and the threads in the tail fins.

    Does anyone know what the thread size is so I can buy the correct tap / die ?

    Cheers

    sorted, I located a metric set which cleaned the threads out perfect.

    If anyone has any fins which are undamaged and wants to sell them on, I would be interested ! Will save me casting new ones.

    I have 12 faux projectiles to make to go with my universal carrier

    Cheers
