Forum will no longer be utilized!

After facing many challenges with utilization of this forum for many years, the board voted on the evening of 1/12/2026 to stop use of the forum in favor of the modern, more effective means.

Most of our general club organization will now be coordinated via Discord and results from our events along with schedules and announcements will be hosted on our main alscca.net webpage.

What does this mean for the old forum? Well, in short we are going to stop using it. This has been reviewed several times in the past few years, and there has been a desire for some of more tenured members of the club to have the historic content preserved. In an effort to preserve this content, it was discovered that we could not simply export the content to be placed in a modern website. This forum will now become an archive only forum and will not be monitored. If you wish to preserve any of the content, this is your time to search the pages to find it. There is no promise that this content will remain available forever with the fragile nature of this forum.

      yeah ...nah...I went all over town on a Sunday looking for a 1/16 tap and apparently that is a very unpopular size . Everyone had 1/8 and up but no one had 1/16. Even harbor freight didnt have it .

        I've got 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 ... no 1/4. You sure it's NPT?

            Ricky, The smallest taps I have are metric 3x0.50 and 3x0.60 and standard 4-40. I'm in the club of "never heard of 1/16 npt". Let me know if you need anything I have.

                        "I need to borrow a 1/16 pipe thread tap to thread a hole for a nozzle . Post up if you have one ." I answered your question, but on reflection, I think you really want a 1/8"NPT tap, which I have. Chuck
