Can anybody help me with the thread size for the old Solar Lite-Flo bobbin heads, is it 2ba?

Second question, do MCF and Matrix use 2ba?

TIA

Yes theyve always been 2ba, matrix is definitely the same, not sure about mcf as never have any of their indicators.

I believe its only fox and maybe nash that dont use 2ba, but i may be wrong about that

Thanks

I think Nash use M5. I would ideally like to use the stainless arms that they have with the sliding weight, but I don't think that they will fit and would rather not use adapters.

Other option is the MCF bike chains or the Matrix quiver type arms as I would like to be able to have a bit of tension to the lead.

2ba and M5 are near enough interchangeable, you'll only have a problem if your going metal to metal. There's enough give plastics/acrylic to give a fit.

My engineer father and grandfather (RIP) would spit feathers if I ever tried to bodge a metric thread into imperial!
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
