There are no standard sizes of taps and dies anymore.
Since the chinks got involved in manufacture a thread finder is out the winda now.
The link Inky gave has the sizes used for certain pans but that can change from batch to batch with them.
If you are making your own pens you can use any size you wish, just keep records of what you use on which pens in the event of a repair init?
I have to get busy before my Drain comes home but will come back to this later and show some pics init?
