Subject: [CR]1961 Dawes Dorado - info on derailleur boss threading needed.

I'm starting the build on my 1961 Dawes Dorado, which I obtained as a frame and fork complete with headset.

This particular frame features a brazed on derailleur boss (rear derailleur only) and I need information on the possible threading. Thread I imagine would be imperial of some sort, threads do not appear damaged.

It's definitely not the modern M5 metric and I did try the bolt from a circa mid '60's Cyclo shifter clamp that appears close to the diameter, but the thread itself is different.

Suggestions/ideas (Whitworth?), as to possible boss threading, so I can obtain some sample bolts to try for fit - will be used on a period Cyclo shifter.
