When I was working at Bailey's on old British iron I often
had need of thread repair tasks. Years ago Mike had purchased
a Mac thread repair kit that covered common automobile sizes
in coarse and fine. He says he's hardly ever used it over the years,
I used it on almost a daily basis. The stuff in the kit would not
cut threads, but it would clean them up. If I had any money for
tools right now, maybe I'd offer to buy it from him. Clean, smooth
running threads always make reassembly better.
