Welcome to made overseas. What I'd do in this case, is run the 8-32 tap in
the holes and then tap the new spigots 8-32. I've run into this before.
Fool around with some scrap first..

Subject: [7x12minilathe] Threading question
I need to shorten a couple of gun cleaning rods. Found that the thread was
an odd one - 32 tpi (no problem with this) but the OD is 0.153, which falls
between 6-32 and 8-32. Machinery's Handbook doesn't list a 7xanything
thread. IS there a #7 machine screw size? I guess that's why we have
lathes - but a die would be nice to clean up the threads.
