Re: whats the thread size for the steering shaft?

I've got a 3 corner file that has almost a knife taper to it that I use to dress threads so that I can get a die on them. I think the file is a Nicholson 14324M that is six inches long and can be found or one quite similar can be found.

I just use the edge of it to dress the threads until I get them to where the die will start on them.
