I have several shutters with straight sockets and fortunately have several cable releases with straight threads. Tapered releases aren't secure in my straight socketed shutters.

The straight thread on old shutters is the American Standard Thread No. 5-44.

Well old shutters are a common problem.
Thanks Jim!

I bought 2 sets, cheapo and premium. I have 100's of taps, but not these.
I always buy the tool.

Interesting. I have three 2x3 Pacemaker Graphics (1 Speed, 2 Crowns) with body shutter releases. A cable release with a conical tip will work with all three but a one with a straight tip is preferable. Yes, I have a straight one.
What makes it preferable?
Thanks Dan.
I had the same issue - finally got a short extension (3" IIRC) and JB welded it into the shutter. Still working fine after 5 - 6 years.
