Anyone in Houston with a die to clean up fork threads?

Lucky Strike · Jun 25, 2011

I've got a fork from a 1949ish RollFast. The threads are a bit off and just need to be cleaned up. Does anyone have a suggestion of somewhere in Houston that would have a 1" 24TPI die that they could run down on the threads to clean them up? I already tried West End Cycles, and they just stared at me like I was from another planet.

Thanks,
Lucky Strike
