Anyone know if 10/32 UNF bolts are the same as 3/8ths UNF?
Thanks Paul.

in a word NO
10/32 UNF https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-32-Socket-H ... 2616484635
3/8 UNF https://www.ebay.com/itm/Stainless-Stee ... :rk:2:pf:0
one of these might help

Thanks for clearing that up guys.

Imperial bolts are a pain for me, luckily not so many on the 1125r as there were on the Firebolt.
Mainly a mix on the frame fittings rather than anything else.
Thanks again.

Are we talking 10-32, which is effectively a 3/16 UNF?

Must've been,
Although 10-32 doesn't sound like a fraction to me, although 10/32 does as well as 3/16.
so how does 10-32 equate in fractions to 3/16ths, I'm always up for learning things I missed?

The second number (32) refers to the TPI, which is the same as the 3/16 UNF.

There isn't actually a 3/16 UNF. UNF threaded forms are defined in ANSI/ASME B1.1, which can be found here.

#1 to #12 then the size is the diameter from 1/4" upwards, obvious isn't it :?

I don't find it obvious at all.
If it said 3/16ths or 1/4 or any fraction size I would understand that, as that is obvious, but 10-32 isn't, ANSI/ASME B1.1, F**k, I must've missed science class as well.
I've managed to replace nearly every bolt on my 1125r without having to read a book & I'm not about to read ASME B1.1-2003 [Revision of ASME B1.1-1989 (R2001), a whole F****n' book on thread sizes as that is just totally anal.
Jesus, I only wanted a F****n' bolt size folks.
