Also a normal thread tap might not work since it could bottom out before you get past the taper on them. A bottom tap or intermediate tap would be ideal since there isn't as much taper on them and starts taping with in a couple threads.

Not looking to tap the rack itself. Need to clean up threads inside an offset rack spacer. Didn't feel the need to put that in my OP.

Ok, so I still don't understand why you don't just go to the hardware store and see what thread pitch and size it is? You could have already found out lol

because I live 100 miles away from them and only get limited times to work on my car, so I try to accumulate as much info as I can in the downtime without having to explain myself on forums every step of the way before getting an answer.
