I bought a new brass number for my house - made by Prima Lite (Brass) Ltd. It has a hidden fixing of two pins that screw into the back of the number. I would prefer to use a long bolt through the wood on which I intend to mount it. The diameter of the screw is bout 4.5mm but the thread is coarser (but well-made) than M4.5.
Any ideas what such a thread might be?
