The description makes sense, i hope.
I need to buy a tap for the hole that grabs the damper rod. I can't tell if chasing the threads will do it, but it's pricey to keep ordering new parts from the UK.
If anyone can recommend a set of quality cycle-thread taps, that would be helpful.
I ordered a set on ebay, and i'm not convinced they are correct. Either the pitch, or the thread profile is off, as they don't mesh well with the original fasteners.
Thanks
Proper tap size for the 1 1/8" top nuts, damper rod

I think it's 5/16" BSCY Cycle thread. 5/16" x 26TPI. I'll check after dinner! All cycle threads from 1/4 to 1/2" are 26 TPI. From 1/2" upwards they can be 20TPI.

They have everything. Tons of obscure sizes/thread types.
Thanks again for that link
