A local shop guy has a Mondia and I have a Raleigh with french BBs. Finding parts can be a problem. (I'm missing the adjustable cup) An English cup seem so fit but.... Do I trust it?

So, is it possible to tap the BB out to Italian thread? Will it weaken (or crack) the BB shell? French is 35X1 and Italian 36X1. Will that 1mm. be a problem?
