Cheeky thread hijack but, as my rebuild didn't come with tread protectors (just the holes they fit to), I have the choice of either a tread strip each side or a row of nice neat stainless button-heads with nylon washers to blank the holes .... I could buy a couple of new strips, but I do love to re-use existing used parts where possible ... so, before I decide..... if anyone has a couple of surplus strips cluttering their workshop they would part with I'd be happy to hear of them (you know it makes sense to unload them before someone loses an eye to the pointy end!! 🙂)
