Then it's NOT NTP, NPT is tapered, NPS is straight!
I suspect BSP is similar, though do not know for sure, it's not something I've machined or used on a regular basis ...

Quick read yes that's the case. BSPT and G. G thread is standard in computers for water cooling so I am very familiar with that. But when people refer to BSP they almost always are referring the the tapered variant.

Anyway, kinda feel responsible here...

You're not to blame, I'm the one that stuck his nose in where it should not have been stuck, I should of just let,

Unfortunately it's not my nature to do so ... You see, I'm a boomer (baby boomer), I was raised by silent types in the silent era, I've seen so much knowledge, skill, talent go to the grave it makes me sick!

Obviously I'm not the silent type, IMO silence (or pretending not to know) hurts the community, communities make up the world!

Sometimes it's a bit hard with no many standards, especially ones that aren't commonly used in your country.

Sometimes you think you know them all and then you work on some heap of shit English bike and discover something called whitworth that makes no sense. I get that same response talking to a lot of Americans when it comes to metric too.

Amen!

Ok, I'll not do derail #2 over Control Freak Manufacturer's worthless proprietary techniques ... Like Apples Lighting connector!

And I'll just say, As I do with Aussies over Imperial ...

Although I agree proprietary standards are annoying when they are locked to the manufacture and not made open source, but I think there are a lot of good proprietary standards. Apple's lightning connector in my eyes is one of the better ones and I wish it was the standard on all phones as USB derived connectors never have been suitable for phones due to lacking the mechanical durability that phones require, in fact the lightning connector is the only one I have outlast the phone itself on multiple phones. I keep my phones for 4-6 years until they break catastrophically in some way, never once had a lightning connector fail in that time. Still have my original cable from 2015 in my work car. My partner is scared it will burn my car down it's that damaged but it still works perfect.

I cannot unplug Lighting connections, I have to use pliers, they are small and smooth, I cannot grip them!

I have little problems with others ...

Geez turn away for a day

Anyway back on topic. Radiator coming along nicely.

custom alloy rad to match the original ?
