They have the base and the swivel, but the screw is not listed on their web site. I sent them an email.

My brother thinks he has a lead on a stock that may have the parts on it, so that may be the solution.

Yea, but it's not as fun.

Have any derlin or nylon rod that you could twist in to score a thread rate on ?
Maybe cast pour a Cerosafe plug ?

My brother found an entire stock with the swivel hardware for cheap. He's swapping over the parts and then sell the rest of the stock, which will probably get him his money back.

Your 42 tpi is very close to 0.6mm. Could it be a metric thread?

It could be, but my lathe won't thread metric (I don't have the transposing gears) and 0.6 mm is not a standard thread in that diameter.
