[Shop-talk] Thread Repair

[Mark J Bradakis]

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.
