T-mount adaptor for EOS

In order for me to take photos with my EOS, I need a T-Mount adaptor and
lens tube. I have both for my older non Eos camera but what I was wanting
to know, is the screw mounting on the newer EOS T_Mount universal (ie can I
use the old lens tube on the new t-mount or will I have to buy a new lens
tube?)

Thanks

Yes, the T-mount is universal 42mm pitch (and it's a different pitch to the 42mm
pitch used on camera lens mounts). Think it's 0.75mm pitch for the T mount, and
1mm pitch for the old Pentax/Practica camera screw mount.
I was stopped just in time...
