I don't think so, not if it's anything like the Herald/Spitfire column (and
I'm pretty sure it is). It's a really, really fine and "shallow" thread --
pretty easy to "bung" up and, apparently, also pretty easy to strip with
carelessness.
If anyone knows what this thread actually is, and if there are suitable
thread chasers to restore same on the column end, please post to the list (or
at least to me), as I'd like to know.
