If you have a tap and die set, they have a thread gauge, which should
maybe have an 8 TPI leaf on it. If not, use the 16 TPI leaf, and see if
the thread is 8 TPI (perfectly exact fit in the gauge) or 3 mm which
won't fit the gauge well.

It may just be an overly tight thread, too.

It was a spot on fit to an 8 tpi leaf, both the spindle and the adapter
plate...
