By 1959, and with the introduction of the Mini, British Motor Corporation (BMC) products were still either imported or assembled from CKD kits in several international markets.

The thread form is slightly modified to increase the minor diameter, and thus the strength of screws and taps. The major diameter still extends to within 1 / 8 H of the theoretical sharp V , but the total depth of the thread is reduced 4% from 5 / 8 H = 5 / 8 cos(30°) P ≈ 0.541 P to 0.52 P . [ 5 ]
The Thury thread form had the crests rounded at 1 / 6 p and the roots rounded at 1 / 5 p so the thread angle was close to 47.5° but not exactly. This was simplified in the BA thread definition by defining the thread angle to be 47.5° exactly and the thread form to be symmetrical with a depth of 3 / 5 p.
