Oh, yeah,

   That reminds me of a third problem I have at the moment.
My poor old Clausing lathe was made before anyone in the 
US had thought of cutting metric threads.

   Japanese filter threads are 20 x 1.5mm.
   Ford => 3/4" x 16
   GM => 13/16 x 16

   I'm planning on using the Ford thread (simplifies 
logistics).  If you want to use factory filters, then 
we need to be able to cut 20 x 1.5mm threads on one 
end of a piece of 13/16" alum. hex rod.  Does your 
lathe do threads.

(now you can get me back for ragging on you not buying 
"enough" lathe.)
