Thanks for all the tips.
I put a big "toothpick" into the hole and twisted, and the best I found was 0,6+ pitch on a ca 3 mm hole, and do to the big .xls from Kerry , a 1/8 is very close, and it will be tested out tomorrow. As you can see from the picture, it is a very short hole.
So, 55 or 60 deg is not so important.
There are some restorations on YouTube , and I will try to contact them for a picture of the head of the screw.

开云体育In addition, if you turn your own screws with an imperial lathe, make sure that you use a 60° tool, NOT 55°, otherwise, especially with? small screws, it will easily break.

?The biggest problem was taps for odd sizes. The smaller the harder. A large size I can single point.?

Try this almost all fire hydrant use LH pipe threads but hose are different sizes
The hydrant manufacturers just changed have change the one brass part for different hose sizes.

It is something you every day and knows of threads.

开云体育Dear Dave,I know this company has been mentioned before, but it may be worth looking at? Tracy Tools in the UK ? www.tracytools.com I hope this is useful.? They sell a wide range of odd size taps etc., as well as the usual ones. (I’ve used them for years.) They always seem to include their latest catalogue, which I find useful. David?
