There was also this from a previous thread
You can simply run a standard 24tpi tap through each side of the BB - it does not cut too much metal away, rather it it rejigs the threads to 24tpi, I have done it several times to Raleigh BBs. You will also need to reduce the width of the BB shell - best way is with a BB shell facing tool. You must remember to use the correct taps on each side as the threads are handed ...
Not sure where to start with the '24tpi tap' or the 'BB shell facing tool' however.
Things are never straight forward are they.
