I was wondering if anyone knew if the threading on Sturmy Archer AW hubs has ever changed. I need a right axle nut for a hub from probally the 50's and i want to make sure the one I get will fit. Harris sells them here (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/sturmey-archer-parts.html#smallparts) and from what i can tell, it will work, but i want to be sure. I know that Raleigh changed threading at some point, and I know that SA and Raleigh were under the same ownership.

Thanks!

I know for sure anything built prior to S-A being sold to Taiwan will be 26 tpi.
