Can someone verify that the barb thread is M3 x .5 and not M3 x .6?

:facepalm:search fail!

I finally found it. Don't know why i couldn't find it earlier. M3 x .5.

the .5 is the more common pitch. Found that out when I traded for a front block with messed up threads.

I am making a custom front block and don't have any barb's yet. Ironically all I have is an M3 x .6 tap but that will be changed soon.

The picture is not the best but here is the front block awaiting a BLACK gen 5 LPR, threading for barb, and plugs for air passages. The HPR will be on the body and at this point I have not yet found a solution I'm happy with for a gauge port.
