Thanks for the offer Ken. Will stick with the thread form they used, not sure what it is though, had another quick look after supper, it has a slight tapper to the thread but not acme or metric. Have the screw so can grind a cutter to match. Then the fine thread at the end to adjust the preload on the thrust bearings is metric The two nuts somehow came through undamaged. Found a chunk of cast iron to replicate the broken bracket.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
