Greg, can you just take him the whole reel?  He probably has the thread gauges, micrometer, etc.  And, he can try it to make sure it fits.

Yep , that's what I did
It may cost me a flask of mr beam but I left it with him and said no rush

It's back
My mate tapped a new thread on the winder and fitted a Chinese reel bolt and cover
Very nice , now to put some line on and catch a fish
