[time-nuts] GN-GGB0710 GPS Antenna Mounting Thread

Hello Discussion,

 NP and BSP (National Pipe and British Standard Pipe) thread size like
 1/4" NP are not really indicative of actual diameter per se, plus you
 have taper seal threads (NSPT and BSPT) to bear in mind. Threads are
 a subject in themselves :)

DW> (Niple)
DW> 1/4 inch x 1/4 inch x 6 inch

DW> I was surprised by the 1/4 inch bit, as it seems distinctly larger.  It is
DW> definitely tapered and threads smoothly, and seats firmly with all of the
DW> threads engaged.
