Happy New Year to you all. Let's hope we can all enjoy a little more motoring freedom from Covid this year.
Thank you both for your replies, very helpful.
I'll do a little more research with 20tpi.
Martin, thank you for the offer. I am in New Zealand so wouldn't be practical, but appreciate the offer.
With regard to the bronze bush, I found a #5 thread cleaning file and the 22 tpi face worked a treat on the thread. The associated nut will need another approach. The centre punches have compressed the thread at that point, so I will try a small pin punch and attempt to tap the thread at these points back in line.
That's my task for today.
Safe motoring
