Mike, I have the two thread files in my hands now. They are made by
"Blue-Point" part numbers "TF-1124" and "TF1127. 1124 has pitches 11,
12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20 & 24. 1127 has pitches 9, 10, 15, 16, 20, 26,
28 & 32. The teeth are not that sharp and are good for cleaning up
lightly damaged threads but not good for cutting new threads on heavily
damaged ones. If the correct die isn't available, the needle files are
a better bet and lots of patients.

Subject: [Healeys] Thread Chasing
The threads on the crank and cam ends are munged up. The previous
re-builder and his damn cold chisel.
The crank nut will just get started but the cam nut won't even do that.
bought new nuts and it didn't get any better. I can see the bad spots,
but
I don't have a die or thread chaser near big enough for these and I
don't
want to force them for fear of just making things worse.
Do I have to buy dies for this? If so what size.
Other suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike Tobin
