I have the above horn. One of the valve casings feels to have a little thread damage, so thinking to see if someone local has a die or mandrel to chase it. Anyone know what size it might be? Pitch is around 32 tpi or 0.8mm, and major diameter is 1.21” or a skosh under 31mm. Assume it is something metric but don’t know for sure - the other hardware on the horn that I have fooled with is one SAE and one metric so far.
Thanks,
Eric

For a one off job.. I would just use a triangular jewelers file to chase the threads.
As amateur as they come...I know just enough to be dangerous.

That had crossed my mind also, but if someone local has the right mandrel it might come out a little better.
The other thing I could do is just email and ask them - duh! I sent them a question about something else a while back and Willi Kurath himself got back to me, tho it took a while.
