That makes sense, anyone have a die? For now I will try the smaller tap
to clean both.

I used a brass wire brush. The threads in the tubes are steel- the fork
cap is aluminum and its' threads are what gets cleaned out.
Also-they are the same size/pitch threads as on later models. At least
it's the same as my G5 fork caps (although the design is different so
you can't use late model caps).
