Robert- Thanks for the reply- The reason I needed thread info was because I wanted to turn a new one as I lost the plug when it flew across the shop as the buffer grabbed it out of the holding fixture while buffing after replating ! All is well now as I have found it after a long search- Easy fix would have been to order a new one from Burlen but it takes a few weeks to get here in the USA-Thanks again-Richard
