     I'm thinking at this point that I might try threading the inside with   
   a boring bar and a cutter that is close but narrower than the groove   
   width of the thread . This will make it necessary to split the nut and   
   hot form the thread . My main concern about splitting the nut is whether   
   the halves will fuse together into a solid unit during the forming   
   process . I'm once more stepping off into unknown territory ... but you   
   know what they say "keeping learning will keep you young" .

   I might thread a test piece first, in two halves to check the fit and   
   measure how far is left to go by the gap. One side could be clamped to a   
   faceplate and the second side doweled and bolted to the first, to allow   
   opening and reassembling the test piece without losing registration.   
      
   When I rethreaded the soda bottle neck I first zeroed the lathe bit depth on   
   a male garden hose fitting.
