Truncate the thread form, leaving the flanks as they are, providing they are right in the first place.If i get you right you are saying to run a die down the thread and a tap through the nut?Plain English please for the non engineers out here![]()
Further to that, yes all threads on your machine should be assembled with a barrier of sorts. I suggest wet or dry molycote. Even parts together need a barrier. Think hinge brackets on rear mudguards, a smear of lanolin or chromate solution, will stop the galvanic reaction. Spoke nipples in alloy rims, is another place to protect.What I am saying, is reduce the outer diameter of the screw, and increase the hole in the nut.
