[Healeys] What Thread?

The threaded pillar in the picture was purchased from Ahead4Healeys.  This is the pillar for the generator adjusting bracket.  It came without the nuts needed for the ends.  I can't figure out what type of threads these are.  I bought a 1/2" BSF nut and a 7/16 BSF nut for it.  Problem is both of those nuts are too loose.  When I try to tighten the large thread on the front engine plate it will not tighten up.  It gets almost tight then pops loose and spins.  The threads on the pillar are not damaged, so it must be the wrong nut.  Same for the other end.  A UNF nut will not go more than a couple of turns then stops.  I even tried running a metric die over the threads and no dice.  I am confused.Mike MacLean
