Having got around after 2 years, to restacking the hifi, I needed a wheeled platfom to stand it on. I went into my stock of castors and found some nice 8mm threaded castors which seemed ideal. After buying some 8mm threaded mounting plates from Toolstation, I attempted to mount these and discovered that my 8mm castors were in fact 5/16 whitorth. Fortunately in my tool collection I had some Whitworth taps and dies, so i was able to retap the 8mm mounts to 5/16 Whitworth. Some where over the years i have lost my thread gauge plate which would have been useful.
