A question about Dynohubs
Does anyone know the size and or thread pitch for the two brass poles on a Dynohub where one hooks up the wires leading to the lights? Mine doesn't have any.

I don't, but it seems to me that in a pinch I've used a standard M5x0.8 nut, and it was okay.

I think you'll have to Google for 2BA brass nuts...

cool, thanks everyone. finding a BA threaded nut in BFE Kansas is going to be interesting... may have to try the metric or UNF sizes. Hell, I don't even know any sources for BA anymore.
scratch that: google is my friend.... :-)

If you enjoy waiting for packages to come from over the pond, there's this option:
Sturmey Archer gears, new and used wheels, rims, SA hubs, gear controls, rod brakes for Sturmey Archer
