Antipodean advice...
Just an enquiry for the antipodean members- What bolt thread patterns are mainly used in Oz ??
Know throughout the world a lot of compressors are UNC even if the rest of the plant is Metric..
Do you have the same variety of patterns that we have in th UK ??

OZ and NZ went metric back in the 60's so everything is metric, compressors are what they are from where the come from, Europe/ metric, USA whatever, Japan metric. China generally metric.
