> Is there a "standard" height for an 8BA model engineering nut ?
Nut height generally depends on the gauge of strings you're going to use, and whether you're playing with picks, finger-style, or with a slide. Also, acoustic guitars tend to have higher string height in general, since the volume and sustain are better. Sorry, saw the subject line and couldn't resist. I found it, and you could too, by entering "BA threads" in www.google.com and then looking at a bunch of web pages until I found one that had the data you requested.
