You're on my block list.

What you on about?:

~ I had a broken ^saucepan^
~ I asked for help with regard to bolt type
~ I removed bolt from my *frying pan* and it fitted the bracket of the ^saucepan^, therefore that's the bolt you see pictured.

Not sure why you're blocking me, but feel free, you have free will; I shall miss all the potential for your visits, cups of coffee and banter. Oh well! ;)

As regards the suggestions that I buy thread gauges… nope. I was repairing a saucepan, not planning to put them into mass production.  Thanks to everyone for the help. Appreciate it a lot.

Given a bunch of our bench gear is sourced from around this rock and multiple different standards of fasteners guessing wrong will cost you $ and more time so a Lifetime tool for under $10 just worth it to have in to kit. Digital Calipers should just be a given, Lidl and Aldi drop them several times a year or buy a metal set of evilbay. This doesn't mean you will ever use a tap and die set but you can know what nut or bolt you need to buy.

Like in Oz the UK has a really mixed bag of 'standards' dating back in time. On instrumentation BA in particular was common going back into my Father's time and I still have his Tap and Die set. UNF and UNC even now are still as common as muck and still specced in some cases. As an Model Aircraft nutter for plenty of decades it was also 'common' for get 2-56, 4-40 etc threaded items out of the USA.

One thing this thread has shown is there is a difference between 5'ish mm -3/16" diameter bolts and 0.8mm (31.75 TPI), is not 32 TPI and is also not 31.4 TPI or any of the other likely 5 or 6 others in and around that pitch before you get to anything more custom. Add to that classes of fit tolerances (these also vary around this rock) making diameter a bit useless as a guide.
