No rush Ian, I actually acquired a spare rack since posting that, so I'm going to measure the one in the spare rack this evening.

Best I can measure the one I have, major diameter 0.24" and approx. 3 threads in 0.11" (about 27tpi) so my guess at the moment is 1/4"x28tpi UNF. But with such a small amount of thread to measure it's hard to be sure.
