It is an amusing idea. And interesting to see that BSA used the same cylinder diameter and threading for most of a century!
Do go for it, you can always take it apart.

Fix a swivel onto the finished product and mount it on a TE20. May as well go for broke.

It's okay so long as you don't use any 'wobbley' bits!
It's all BSA - so all good - just a 'Bitsa' instead - perfectly acceptable!
Go for it - you know you want to - we won't threaten to tell anyone!
(well at least not until after you've done it and we can hold you to ransom that is!

I'm actually building the ideal TE20 to mount this gun on, Steve. :-Originally Posted by Punchsteve

Very interesting observation that suddenly had me thinking.. there was a close relationship between BSA cycle threads and their gun threads. The standard BSA bottom bracket cycle thread was / is 24tpi. Are the BSA Standard end blocks 24tpi? It would be nice (in an old fashioned way) if they are and the Standard cylinder id was also the same size as a cycle BB shell. Maybe I should take time out to rummage amidst the old cycle bits in the box in the shed.
Note that Raleigh old threads were 26tpi but they changed over to the accepted standard of 24tpi many many years ago.
Cheers, Phil
