It’s only the first thread on one side, and I think once I have chased the threads on the shaft I will be able to get the nut on without cross threading it. I can then use the shaft to chase the bad thread and use the die to clean up the shaft threads.
I’ve done that before on other projects with success. I just don’t have a tap or die with the correct dimensions. George Coleman is sending the die.
Or, maybe I could "rent" or borrow a tap from a local shop.
