Quote: Ok Gene! I found the dial guage. 54.5mm ID on the front of the SM40 and 51.8mm OD on the back end of the T max tuner.
Bingo!
Thank you.
Those numbers (as I have just verified experimentally) turn out to be a 55mm thread and a 52 mm thread, both of which are available to me and both of which solve the problem I was facing.
