The threads are obviously fairly sound, and as such I would buy a "cheap and cheerful" die nut,you won't need expensive, top qual. gear for a one off like this, so Chinese or similar will suffice to run down them. A die nut is only used to clean up threads, not form them from scratch, so in this case you should be fine. Use cutting compound whilst doing so, so as not to tear the threads, ok, Morrag

I was just about to sugest the same, got me out of a few jams in the past! Particularly when some numb-nuts has damaged the hub nut thread on a rear axle at 11:30 pm & the vehicle is needed in the mornin'.
