External diameter of threds .613 in

Listers, 

Anybody know what the pitch is? I've replaced my steering rack with 
another used unit, and I'verun out of adjustment on the inner track 
rods. There's more thread, but it's rusted enough that the lock nuts 
won't thread any further inboard, and I'm still at about 1/8" toe out 
(which is much better than the 3/4" toe out I started with). I thought 
I'd chase the threads to get that last 1/8 to 1/4" I need.
