The '"farmers' fix" thread chasers are nothing more than an original Model A head stud that has a long lateral grooved slot milled into the threads with a Dremel cut off wheel. Virtually making an original Model A bolt look like a tap. Some cheap HF taps have been known to remove too much material or at the wrong places / angles causing a loose bolt fit.
