Thanks Graham but that is about as much use as tits on a snail 

anyone else got any ideas

some axles have different size threads, ie Skyway were different to Profile ect
some are 24 tpi (thread per inch) and others are 26TPI they can also be different diameters 3/8" or 10mm typically, you need to take your wheels to a bike shop and try a few different ones 

  DINGO

That might be true in the industrial world, but bicycle threads are a complete different kettle of fish, I doubt they would be able to help, Try a bike shop I hear Fox cycles in colne are pretty good.
