[Healeys] Thread Chasing

[Bob]

Hi Mike,

             I do not present this as a cure all but have had success with their 
older Nes1 tool:

            My tool is marked as 60 degrees, not the 55 degrees of the Whitworth 
form but it has
saved a few British motorcycle parts with the Whitworth thread form.

             Food for thought and a possible option.
