[Public-List] Rudder Stuffing Box Repair

[Glenn via Public-List]

I once cleaned  up my threads with a  small 1/4" triangular thread file.  Worked very well and only had to do it once to get the nut to screw back on

I think the two halfs of the die could be drilled and tapped with small cup screws. A machinist could probably knock it off fairly easily. Maybe a small clamp would serve, for as you say, it's really chasing and cleaning, not making new threads.
