Howard, these are definitely rolled thread but whether NOS or reproduction I can’t say. The nut goes on easily on the non-rolled end but not on the other and, as these were done purposely with an interference fit, that’s expected. It occurred to me to get a rolled thread (tap) but they are not easy to find, especially here in this rural area. No time to order one either..

Kev, that’s what I am doing and it goes in but is still shy of the proper depth by 3/16” or so and that’s too much. Incidentally, I'm trying to install the studs, not remove them. To remove them again once I get them forced as far in as I can, I have a stud extractor
