Does anybody have a set of these Avid bobbin swinger arms and know the thread size please?
I'm just wondering if they have a 2BA male thread on either end or if like fox use something like an M5?

Thanks Bob,
I think a 2BA is 4.7mm so sadly the threads on this Avid swinger are probably too big for what I need.

Hi, i put a bit more info in this thread.

A 5mm male thread/ bolt, outer dia OTOH i measured about 4.76mm to be more precise.
But no way will 5mm male go into a 2BA Female, well properly. Prob as much to do with thread pitch/ TPI than dia. It will go in about a couple of threads, then locking up.
Got 2BA Arms (no weights on em), Bobbins, Hockey Sticks.
Plus got plenty of 5mm Nuts & Bolts.
If you look in link above, eBay links, you can adapt 5mm male thread on arms/ chains to 2BA male thread. I CBA'ed.
Mind if those Custom Reel King adapters had been Female 5mm to male 2BA, rather than male to male. I would have bought them.

EDIT: So 6 x 5mm to 2BA adapters 316 Marine Grade SS = £28.89
Could just buy 3 if 5mm OK at one end.

So say 10 x 5mm long nut/ sleeve, say M5 x 8 x 12mm (M5 x 8 x 10mm might just do).
304 Food Grade SS = £3.35

Will change any Swinger Arms or Chain male ends, from 5mm to 2BA.
