Call Prather to make sure.
They should have that tap.

both my Joss cues have 5/16-14 threaded pins. I didn't know that they used any other size.

www.cuestik.com has taps in that size. You can't buy them in any hardware store, etc. because of the unique tpi, 14.

At the time that Joss was making cues for Brunswick, the wght. bolt was a 3/8 x 16 with a hex head. To remove the bolt, you would need a 9/16" socket that had the side-wall turned down to allow access because the bolt is countersunk into the butt cap. Let's not confuse the guy.
