Tomas,

Sadly, the drawing doesn't have any details on that thread. I suspect there were many more engineering drawings of the individual components of the rack, and the specs would have been found there, but I don't have them. 

I believe Larry Stock has a die he uses to repair damaged rack threads, and if so he should be able to tell us?

   Tomas,

   Sadly, the drawing doesn't have any details on that thread. I suspect
   there were many more engineering drawings of the individual components
   of the rack, and the specs would have been found there, but I don't
   have them.

   I believe Larry Stock has a die he uses to repair damaged rack threads,
   and if so he should be able to tell us?
