Huret Hanger Threads

Thank you all! I think I can just use a flat file to notch the dropout, and a bit of paint afterward.... I've already run the 10mm x 1.0 mm tap through the threads.

No problema...

Not sure why you needed to run a tap through the hole except to clean up the threads??? The hangers are already tapped 10mm x 1mm.

Simplex dropouts have an unthreaded 9mm hole. You can run a 10mm x 1mm tap through the hole and most RDs with a tab will fit with no further modification.

Best part is Simplex RDs will still mount because the minor diameter of a 10m x 1mm thread is 9mm...
