    Do any of the experts out there have info on Coleman threads sizes? I believe some and maybe all of Coleman threads were proprietary. The particular ID thread size I'm looking for is on the top of lamp that holds the shade holder to the top of the burner head. The major dia. is .178 inch which doesn't correspond to either an 8-32 or 10-32. Perhaps there is some documentation out there that has that info? Thanks for your help! Peter Ecklund

    I'm going to answer my own question. After a bit of research and tinkering, I’ve determined that the thread I’ve asked about is 10-32NF. I still believe that many of Coleman threads are non standard. The late Herb Ebendorf would have known!
