Hello Fergus

A few thinks I try on pipe threads:
Try a few pieces of hardware, sometimes where the thread starts is not the
same.
You can fill threads with Redux and not worry bout tightening (redux is
fuel resistant as long as fully cured
You can run a tap in a bit further, a little bit at a time, go to my
favorite company www.mcmaster.com for info about taps, you can buy from
them with a CC 24/7
