Seems strange that these lights would use imperial threads (seems strange anyone would use them IMHO 
).
What they may be is 1.25mm which is very close to 20tpi.

Hi Packhorse,
thanks for your reply. You are right, this is very strange. May be this is some kind of hardware-copy-protection. :laughing:
Or it´s simply a measuring error. My W200 uses the same thread.
The TT is 1" (or exactly 0.998")
The GF is 1" (or exactly 0.998")
The UF W200 is a little smaller 0.974" which could be 25mm (exactly 24,78mm)
But i can mix the heads and bodys.
The tpi are not so easy to measure. So the UNEF 1"-20 was the closest to my measurements.
Heeeeelp, please!

The W300 pill has a M25.4x1mm thread too.
What is it you are trying to do? I dont like your chances of finding a compatible tap or die.

OK, some news: a good friend of mine measured my stuff with some professional tools.
He measured M25x1.5.
He explayned to me that this is no standard thread.
He thinks that TT (or GF) are using CNC-machines to build their stuff.
It really can be some kind of copy protection.
So i have to think over my next project. My plan was to build a bigger head with a 52 or bigger DX aspheric and a SST-90 at 9A.
My last project, a TT Pro head mod with 4 XR-E R2 at 800mA and a Ledil cute 4 RS optic is only equal to a 7.2V 20W Kowalski.
In bright daylight and murky water of the Baltic Sea this is not enough.

Can be thread reproduced by making mould from original (negative ) in to the plaster or some wax or in advance way silicone (urethane) and than mold with some plastics ? Then finishing product with fine sanding?

I think this is nice way to DIY some extra connectors

Just cut the thread on a lathe.
This sounds so easy. In fact I first have to learn how to do this. :thinking:
