Help! Italian BB thread chasing: Midlands area

[grogee]

Looking for someone (bike shop or frame builder) to chase my bb shell on an aluminium Bianchi (Italian thread). I'm near Leamington but can drive the frame within 30 miles pretty easily.

Am trying to avoid the wild goose chase in bike shops: "sorry mate we've only got the English thread tap"...

I should add I'm quite happy to pay for this!

There's a list of frame builders and addresses on Retrobike somewhere, from 2011 but it's a start. Off the top of my head I can only think of Lee Cooper who is near Coventry iirc

Re:

I've bought a set of taps, all be it for English threads, from here:

Good quality tools, bought a few things from them.

The threading is 36MM x 24TPI I would have thought a good machine shop in your area could fix it for you.If you have a scrap BB cup Grind 3/4 grooves with a Dremel cutting/grinding wheel at right angle to the threads & a turn in /half turn out Ive cleared Vitus alloy BB's of locking goo in this way
