Hi can anyone confirm the screw thread size for the 4 screws that hold the lens on

I have new screws but one female thread is crossed so I want to retap it

Thanks steve

get yourself a set of BA thread taps ... or at least the one which is the corresponding size

Which kind of rear light is the Lucas 1807? (Should that be L807?)
If it's the S4 / Sprint rear light it takes 6.32 UNC x 1??. At least that's what fitted perfectly when I once renewed them, not 4BA.
PS if you're replacing the screws it's a good idea to use stainless steel cap head screws which are much easier to unscrew when you need to remove them years later.
