I think the originals are 3/8" BSW. I recently had to replace two of mine which were corroded into the block. They were 3/8" UNF (24 tpi) at the top and 7/16" BSW (20 tpi) at the bottom into the block. I made them up using a 7/16" high tensile bolt, cutting off the head and turning down and threading the BSW end.

Trevor.

Thanks Trevor, all this was caused by a stuck valve in the head, which has been a nightmare.
