Brake pipe thread - Rich Hanlon - 13 May 2020
No bother, I'll keep you posted [emoji846].
I certainly don't want you to think I was having a moan by the way, they're top quality- just wondering how people had overcome it.
And you're right, if I understand correctly the German rules have it that parts must be original or TUV labelled.

Unfortunately no one makes the style of fitting that we had on our cars so it's always been a 'compromise' The HEL ones had a slightly larger fitting than the Goodrich but the latter have better EU/worldwide approval and come with the all important TUV certification certificate. However if we (sorry you) can find a better solution with a smaller/half nut then I will certainly add them in to the packs as it makes a better solution.

Ok so it's not 3/8 UNF!!
I think it's 7/16 UNS or UNEF. It's 24 TPI anyway. It seems to be a very specific brake pipe thread - no nuts commonly available.
