It would not be the easiest thread type to find at the local bolt supplier.

A good alternative is a thread restoring file. Have used one frequently with very good results. As long as the TPI is the same it does not matter what diameter is the stud/bolt/screw.

Cheers,

Jacques

Smile Studs

Waiting for GT to chime in here...
From memory Tony had some that were unserviceable, so he had some turned up by a local cleversmith.
