That is a metric fine thread. OEM new or used is the only source, that will work/fit properly. Vintage Bob

Sounds like you should find the proper Die and fix the threads the right way, before you waste money on a nut.

I've cleaned up threads with a thread file before. They can work pretty good. I never used locktite in that location on any of my bikes, including my 490. Just make sure to use a good OE washer there and bend it up so the nut can't unscrew itself.
Good luck, Roger MOVMX #491
