Backing plate stud height and diameter for 5/16" thread.
Hello everyone! As the title says am looking for measurements of the stud that is sticking out of the backing plate. Particularly the height and width (diameter).
I know the pitch of thread is 5/16" which the PC and most DA use.
I am not looking for a backing plate btw. I just want the specs on the stud which I couldn't find anywhere.
Anyone has this info available?
Thanks in advance!
Brook.

It's a 5/16"-8 UNC threaded stud.
Not sure on the length off the top of my head, and I don't have one in front of me to measure. I'm sure somebody else can measure the stud length for you.

It's 5/16" coarse thread.
Not sure what else you could "need" to know in order to attach one to a tool and buff out a car.
The length is arbitrary because ANY company manufacturing a backing plate has already done their homework and figured out how long the stud needs to be in order to attach to the spindle for acceptable performance.

Re: Backing plate stud height and diameter for 5/16" thread.
Mike, I'm thinking it is a coarse thread too, but I was just looking at the buffdaddy site, and according to his site, it's a 5/16-24 thread......
If his site is correct, that would be a fine thread, and we'd be wrong...
I'm not with my detailing supplies, so I can't check for sure.

I have found both fine and course threads from different sources now. 5/16" 18 and 5/16" 24.

Either or, it can't be both. Sorry I'm not home so I can't measure the length for you.
