well, I picked up a thread file, cause I figured it was something I could use again, whereas a die would be a one-off. Sorry Lozza, I thought you were having a lend when you first posted it, I'd never seen one before and figured it was like the "wankometer" tm you found on ebay.
It certainly made things better, whether there's enough thread there now I'll have to find out when I test fit before painting.
Otherwise, Stu's plumbing repair idea might come into play.
is there enough thread left to cut some of the stripped section off and then file/machine the spigot flat again for the seal/fibre washer to do its job?you can make a mandrill to suit a cutter sold seprately to suit those oring style tap washers,the cutter cost about $13 and a machined mandrill wouldnt be much
I don't quite follow this Matt, I picked up what you're saying about cutting the spigot shorter and resurfacing it, but the Mandrill bit is over my inexperienced head
