Zerk fitting thread pitch/size? (1 Viewer)

[davegonz]

Anyone know the thread pitch/size of the drive shaft grease zerks? I have a slight interference with the front DS zerk and tranny oil pan and wanted to use low profile zerks.

On American the larger zerks are 1/8"npt. The smaller ones are 1/4"-28 (like bolts) Don't know if these are -try one in.

M6/1.0

did you change something that is causing that interference? Seems strange that it would even be close...

BT80 is correct, it is an M6x1.0mm thread

Can you post up a photo of the area in question showing the interference?

This thread is almost 4 years old. I'd be surprised if you get any pics.
