My current TE engine project calls for 3/8″ copper pipe fittings threaded 7/16 x 26 tpi. None of my usual (or any other searched) sources list either the tap or the pipe fittings for this size.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Incidentally I have found that nothing concentrates the mind better than machining the exhaust and inlet ports in a dual cylinder casting that already has taken 8 hours of careful machining.

7/16 x 26 is a standard BSB thread, should be freely available – here is one source, tho the seller is calling it an ME thread for some reason.
