Perhaps more important (using the wrong size should be such an obvious error that if it happens the following won't be much use) is to use a socket ground flat at the entrance; the lead-in chamfers often are as deep as the spanner flats on these thin bolts, a flat ground socket is a little bit...
I just posted an ad in the parts-for-sale forum, I'm set up right now to re-thread 24 TPI headsets to fit 26PI forks, if you are interested in getting one (or more) done see my ad.
I've just made a tap out of an old 26 TPI fork and run it through a few 24 TPI top-end headset parts. The thread form is pretty good, I think it's well good enough to do the job. I've got the tap mounted on a lathe cross-slide with the part in the chuck, and it's fed in at 26 TPI so you get the...

$50 and I'll pay postage.
I have a pair of Shimano Positron rear mechs, each complete with black cable, shifter, and the special cable clips. These are take-offs from a pair of mid-80s Peugeot five-speed city bikes that didn't get much use.
They are in excellent condition - almost no wear on the jockey wheels inside &...
