Hi Welcome To Freesteam.

Hi and welcome to the best steam forum around.

You're right - 6ba is the size I've always found. Careful though - the mazak alloy of the flywheel is a lot softer that the screw, threads are so easily damaged!

What engines do you have?

Some are 6ba and earlier ones are 1/8" BSW
