9/16-24 UNEF (not UNC or UNF) Grainger does not have them. Mcmaster has them, but I can’t wait til Tuesday for it. Anyone have any other good ideas? ---

what does UNEF mean? sucks about the holidays, usually mcmaster stuff gets here next day or two days out when I order. I probably have a regular 9/16-24 but since I don’t know what the letters mean chances are it’s not what you need lol ---

UNEF means unified national extra fine. It just specifies the thread pitch. Common 9/16 thread sizes are 9/16-11 (UNC [coarse]) and 9/16-18 (UNF [fine]). You probably have a those, this is finer than that. The bummer is that I had one, and mailed it to my body shop guy because I didn’t feel like driving to Lockport, but that was on Monday and he still hasn’t seen it, so I suspect it’s lost in limbo somewhere. ---

Oddly, Hectors has a pretty good selection of these. Worth a call anyway. ---
