Wheel studs again.

whilst I wait for a thread guessing gauge to arrive I wonder if anyone knows the sizes of threads on a wheel stud. I presume the two threads are different. The one the wheel nut goes on looks finer than the one that screws into the hub. Its the hub thread I am having trouble with.
On removing the wheel nut the whole thing came out of the hub, stud and all.
Being a big daft ham fisted neanderthal, I have managed, with the aid of several grips and a vice to destroy the thread on the hub screw so probably wont be able to measure it very well anyway. It looks like a 9/16 UNF to my untrained eye but so does the nut thread on the other end
I just wanted to be sure before I force a 9/16 nut on it to re cut/mash the thread and weld it back in the hub.
I presume its a series one hub....................possibly

Have you tried screwing the good wheel thread into the hub to see if they are the same. 9/16 sounds right but could be unc or unf, My guess would be unc.

Ah now, the nuts are the early ones with the roundly bit on both ends so it looks like a BSF thread on the nut end.
