Hi, I've a windsurfer brand sailboard with a brass coloured nut inbedded flush with the deck, between the mast step and centerboard case. Could someone kindly assist in informing me of the thread size of that nut.
I've failed with metric 4mm (too thin), 5mm (too thick) and 3/16th (just didn't fit).
Your assistance would be appreciated.
NB being a longish board it is not convient for me to transport it to a shop that sells fastenings in order to seek their help, if they are willing and able, in testing their stock.
If it's really a Windsurfer brand (big-W), then the nut was used to leech-rope the mast base for when it used to pop out. It was not a great idea, just about never saw someone use the leech, nor the nut.
If that doesn't answer, post a pic.
